Is Mickelson really that bad these days? I know he hasn't played like he was for years now, but you can still see the flashes of talent sometimes. I mean, age isn't exactly the same restriction in golf that it is in some other sports. |

Being a Mickelson fan is more infuriating/frustrating/baffling than any other sports or athletes i take a rooting interest in.

He dropped outside of the top 50 in driving distance for the first time last year, he's putting with a claw grip (funny, b/c his putting is as good as it's ever been), and he doesn't flag approach shots with near the consistency he used to. He rode a couple of good weeks to a high place on the money list this year, but he's ninth in the OWGR and not nearly the same player that he was 2004-2006. The hardest part of it is that now he's clearly on the downside you look back at all the should-have-beens that weren't with frustration, especially the US Opens. I know injuries hurt him, but I really think Weir ruined himself by trying out the Stack and Tilt snake oil. Harrington ruined his career with a swing change as well.

Yeah, take the good and the bad with him. Phil will be Phil. Well...until he's not capable of being Phil anymore.

Geoff Ogilvie's chip-in on 17 was one of the better breaks in recent major history. The ones that hurt nearly as much are the 1999 US Open, the 2001 PGA (Toms was such a fluke winner b/c he holed a 5 wood that was headed over the back, short-sided, in deep rough and a certain bogey), the 2009 US Open @ Bethpage, and the 2011 Open, when a garbage player like Darren Clarke careered it.

And yeah, that might have been a factor with Weir. He hasn't been able to put anything on the fairway consistently since 2009. His swing has been ****ed up for quite some time. |

He missed the verb. He should have been a ten major guy.

Definitely could have been right there with Player/Hogan/Watson if not for all the choking at the worst times. Well, at least he got some. Beat Vijay and Ernie anyway there.

Wait, Ernie won the Open last year somehow. Guess Phil and Ernie tied there then. Well...he beat your hated Vijay.

Ernie's actually a guy who has had very good luck in the majors, but he's also made the most of it, and he deserves credit for that.
