The greens are hard and with water in front, they are very difficult to hold.
More Quotes from Phil Mickelson:
The defense of the golf course was back up -- the wind. It was much more difficult and hard to get the ball close. There were a lot more wayward drives, the wind just takes it off line. It's a lot different golf course than what we saw the first two days.Phil Mickelson
I've gained a lot of respect for him this week, and not only as a player. Let me tell you a story I played the front nine today in four over, and on the 10th tee he came up to me kind of shyly and asked, 'Do you mind if I say something' I said go right ahead. He said, 'C'mon, let's go have some fun on the back side.' I thought that was pretty cool.

I haven't had as many chances here as I would have liked or would have thought. But why the other guys haven't played well here, I don't know. It's a course that, if you play well, it can suit anybody's game. I just don't know why we haven't put it together. It's hard to say, because we've all had decent chances.

We talked about this five years ago, that the next generation of players was going to be an athlete who can take advantage of the technology. They hit bombs, but they can also chip and putt. Basically, long-drive guys who can play. That's what we're seeing in J.B. Holmes and Bubba Watson and Villegas, they have great touches with wedges and putting and short game. They are very difficult to beat.

I certainly can't get it there in two, so I'm going to play it as a three-shotter. That's a very tough hole, and guys can have a lot of problems if you miss the fairway there.

This is, without any wind, a very tough golf course today. Even though we had low scores today, there's a lot of penalties, a lot of water out here. I can imagine it would be extremely difficult with some wind. I was fortunate to have a calm day.
