He only had like 210 to 16 for his second shot and elected to lay up. Coming out of the rough, his lie might not have been very good. It looked to me like he hit 3 wood off the tee on 18 but maybe not. Odd down 2 needing birdie on a long hole if he did hit 3 wood.
Yeah, I think down 2 you've got to take a shot at going for the green on 16. Sure you can dunk it in the water, but depending on where a water shot would've crossed the hazzard, he still could've had a decent chance to save par which he made anyway. Looked like it would've been worth the risk in that situation. I think it just shows he doesn't have confidence in his ball striking and the shank on 18 and others he's hit before would seem to support that. Still, you're a pro and if you want to win, you've got to go for it, especially if you hold yourself out to be a world class player.
