I'm not into golf and hardly know who Phil Mickelson is, but I thought this was very good writing. Actually at first I thought it was from some national sports journalism source and I was surprised they could be so blunt.
His Mother is Taiwanese...and his religion is Buddhist, same as hers.
I agree entirely with this; you can chart the media's darling by the curve of his stomach. This year is an up and down year - down at the chest, up at the middle, down toward the lowered beltline. Philly baby has no discipline hence no chance. He takes stupid chances every time he has a lead, typically with disastrous results. He isn't going to get better from here on in. BUT, his wife is beautiful and the kids as well.
"Being married to a Swedish model, in addition to all the 'walking' he does, I'm sure plays a role."
I would sure do a lot of "walking."
"You're correct, he's not Phillipino.
His Mother is Taiwanese...and his religion is Buddhist, same as hers."
His mother is Thai; his father was a Green Beret, no doubt inserting into SVN from Korat or some other base in Thailand.
Tiger describes himself as a "Caublinasian": Caucasian, Black, Indian, Asian.
I thought Tiger's mom was Thai...
My 2 cents, Tom Lehman recently did a weight loss overhaul and looks great! He missed the cut on Friday.
Go Phil! He doesn't have a chance in hell of winning. Down to 8 under after Saturdays round. Everyone on the leader board would have to have a rather BAD day on Sunday!
You seem to forget Lehman ALMOST won the INTERNATIONAL last week. How quickly you forget!
I'm surprised that the usual suspect hasn't shown up to tell us all how Tiger's juiced to the eyebrows.
I didn't forget Doc. I was merely pointing out the fact that the weight of the player doesn't necessarily mean he or she will play favorably as the original poster noted regarding Mickleson.
I love Tom Lehman and met him here in Orlando. Great guy. His recent exercise regime has made him feel great and play better than he has in years! You're barking up the wrong avid golf fan tree here.
