Patrick -- aye, he is a looooong hitter but wild.

I first met and played with Patrick this past RSG-OH. I was astounded
at his distance off the tee.

I have learned that much of my driver distance is roll. I learned the
hard way playing the PubLinks in Boise this year with Newell. Opening
hole had to carry some crap. I asked the starter how far it was to
carry and he said 215. "No problem", I thought as I routinely drive
245 - 260. Day 1 was 5yds short of carrying and Day 2 barely flew the
crap - and proceeded to roll out to about 250 yards.

Someone earlier posted that Tex is long. While he may be 20 yards
further down the road than me, it's mostly carry.
