Could you imagine if Phil Mickelson lost by a stroke? Or even worse, if he lost by a stroke to Tiger? On the other hand, had Tiger hit a leaf that had just fallen to the ground and it cost him The Masters, you know you’d suddenly be a lot more interested in golf…or divine intervention, one of the two. Probably the latter.

If you listen to the commentary in that clip, it’s almost as if the guy is hoping that fluke putt would cost Mickelson everything and become a story for the ages. While that would certainly be amusing to the indifferent golf observer (or Mickelson hater), it’s definitely nice to see the guy who was once “the best golfer never to win a major” add a fourth title to his resume.

On the other hand…What do we really know about this Mickelson guy anyway? We know his wife and mother have both been diagnosed with breast cancer. So, there’s a reason to root for him, maybe. What else…He kind of looks like Hugh Grant…He may or may not have man-boobs. Is he a good guy? Nobody really knows. Someone enlighten us.

Oh, wait. Here it is. Last year, Tiger Woods’ caddie, Steve Williams, offered this insight:  ”I wouldn’t call Mickelson a great player ‘cause I hate the prick.” Well, that should clear everything up.
