      He's pulling out all of the stops with trying to do his part to promote the PPV deal with Tiger next month. LOL...
      Never mind the fact that the fairways are twice as wide.

        He'll wish he was playing his opponents shots on Sunday though me thinks.

        Phil still has some good rounds left in him, but I'm not sold on him being able to close the deal anymore.

          Maybe France is too far east of California. Phil can't function in that hemisphere.

          braveheart I still say we have been blessed to watch a man of his talent. No one has provided the thrills and spills with more panache than him.

          It is always interesting to see what he's going to try next - especially when he pulls it off. I'll never forget the pine straw shot at Augusta. That highlight never gets old. He's the poster child for "hold my beer and watch this".

              Very true. It's not very often that golf fans these days are exposed to players who don't throw clubs, don't curse and use f bombs, or make the time to visit with the fans to sign autographs, or share their true thoughts with the media after the round.

              One thing that Phil has most always done, throughout his entire career, is represent his profession in high regards. Very few would say otherwise.

              If he never won another tournament, it still wouldn't change how I view his career.

                sdandrea1 When my youngest son was about 7 years old, he was playing in a youth tournament at a club I used to belong to. On the second hole he ended up off the fairway behind some trees. I was caddying. I asked him what he was going to do.
                He said "I'm gonna hit the ball back into the fairway. I'm not stupid like Phil Mickelson."

                True story.

                    On the other hand, I’ve seen players hit a low percentage shot from somewhere and pull it off somehow. Immediately, it’s called a “Phil shot”.
                    In homage to the man who seems to get in trouble like us regular folk often do but then hits something spectacular.
