I'm wondering if some people would use a wood to chip off a cart path.
I might use my rescue wood - Charles Howell III would have had to use
a 3W (or driver) to try that in the playoffs today.

You bet. Ram my wood into asphalt. I'll just get another one from home.

I'd risk a wood or iron for the $347K difference in payouts for first
and second place. But, if I was playing at the local muni for $10 I'd
take the drop and stroke.

I was too busy with my 2 year old,could not hear the annoucers, so I
did not hear the explanation why he did not get a relief from the cart
path?

He could have, but he'd have to drop behind the path which had a downhill
lie and rough. It would have bounced forward so he could place it, but it
would still be a downhill lie. The cartpath was level and its much easier
to spin the ball off the path. Plus he had a perfect angle right between
the trees, he couldn't guarantee that would remain if he dropped.
I've played a few shots off the cartpath for similar reasons over the years,
its pretty simple, just like hitting off hardpan. Most people don't even
consider whether it is a better play or not, I've seen people take "relief"
in some thick nasty grass when the shot off the path would be so much easier!

His PW - even when played behind his right foot - had too much loft for
that situation. I'd have played my 2-iron.

I think he hit a piching wedge. Kinda looked like a low iron shot for
me & a bump & run.

He did hit a PW - I can't imagine what he was thinking. He played it
behind his right foot, but even then there was too much loft.

Yep, but he missed and it bounced a bit, going high and short.

The ball hit the branch.
