Saves me the trouble. He didn't hit a fairway all day, so why not just use less club off the tee and play for par, knowing that by keeping it under control, the realistic worst he could have done was bogey and go to a playoff?
A man's got to know his limitations.
If anyone can louse up a golf tournament, it's Mickelson and he did this one in true dysfunctional style. Didn't one of those shots on 18 go into a trash can? Or hit it? What can I say? The symbology says it all. The guy needs a shrink.
Meanwhile, Ogilvy deserves a lot of credit for keeping his cool while all about him icons and titans were crashing and burning. He clearly has what it takes to be a champion and I'm miffed that the idiot media led by that mental midget Costa is bashing him for winning by default. To blow my own horn a bit, I picked Ogilvy as the winner on Saturday. Something about those eyes. I like Ferrie too...he played an excellent game, all things considered, and I look forward to (hopefully) watching him develop.
Was disappointed that three biggies didn't even make the cut: Tiger, Goosen, and Garcia. Winged Foot is more like Broken Wings.
