Use vectors.


In phenol, both Phenyl ring and OH have an electron withdrawing effect.


In methanol, Me has electron pushing whereas OH has electron withdrawing effect.

In phenol, the lone pairs of oxygen are spread out over the ring due to resonance.

Well, ya.
Reason given by juana is also right.
