I'm glad Mickelson won. But the reality is that Tiger is a giant among ants. Tiger's principle rivals are good players, not great ones. Tiger's final round of 68 was the lowest among the leaders, and he was 7-under after round 1. If Tiger's off-day on Thursday hadn't been so bad, he would have won. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Tiger fan.

Mickelson is so hit or miss, we have no idea what he's going to do. When he wins sometimes it seems as if he does so in spite of himself.

Tiger also played in much better conditions than the leaders did on Sunday. If he had played later in the day he may well have won, but he almost certainly wouldn't have scored a 68 on Sunday.

Mickelson is every bit as talented as Tiger, the difference between Tiger and Mick is conditioning and the will to win. Tiger has always had both, Mickelson has figured out that winning isn't everything but it sure the hell beats second. Now if he conditions himself to the level of Vijay and Tiger we'll have another big three for years to come.

For the record, Tiger was +5 the first round, -1 for the second to post a 144, right on the cut line. Then he shot -4, -2 on the weekekn to score -2 for the tourney.

But who's counting :)
