McIlroy's golf swing is just a thing of beauty.

The USGA has to be fuming over the amount of rain this course has received, because it's an absolute sitting duck right now.

If anyone saw Mickelson's round today, it should come as a wakeup call to him, but it probably won't.

He had it going pretty decent through 8. He hit a good shot from the rough into a greenside bunker on 9, but took a bad angle out and then ran a 9 foot birdie putt 5 feet by.

On ten, rather than hitting an 8 iron, which was more than enough for him to get to the back tier had he wanted to, he hit 7, flew the green by 8 yards, and ended up dead, making a 4.

From there, it all unraveled. He made a hideous 3-putt bogey on 13, he missed deep with a SW on 16 (doing a horrible job of controlling his distance), then chipped short, then, when just on the fringe, rather than putting it out, he hit another chip, which went 5 feet past, then he missed that putt.

From the fairway on 17, he took a six, after misclubbing and missing the green on the right fringe, then four-putting, including a three putt from six feet.

The funny thing about all of this is that he's really only made two course management errors this week. What has killed him is his swing, which hasn't changed an iota since he was with Rick Smith.

He still goes way to far past parallel, he gets way too steep, and he hangs way back. As a result, he misses everything to the left. It also makes his distance control on his irons horrendous.

If he wants to contend in any more majors for the rest of his career, he's going to need to shorten his swing by about 18 inches and give up 15 yards off the tee. He's already plenty long.
