"I found it rather amusing a month or so back when his errant shot broke a guy's watch and he walked right over to the guy and started pulling out $100 bills to hand the guy. Must be nice to just walk around with a wallet full of hundreds, I'd probably be smiling a lot too." Heh. Yeah, that's what about $5 million a year in winnings will do to a man.

He's growing a mullet and has a gorgeous wife. How can you not be jealous?

The guy wears a visor with the name of an accounting firm on it. He is the personification of all that sucks about golf (which is a lot).

For me, it became officially time to go from not caring about Mickleson to start hating him actively when I laid eyes on him shilling for ExxonMobil, who made record profits the last few years gouging us for gasoline.

As I wrote on my site earlier, I root for Phil just because I want to see a good rivalry between him and Tiger develop.

He's boring right now, but at least he's usually hi-fiving fans coming off of some of the holes, smiling a lot, and generally appearing to realize that he has one of the best jobs you can have. I found it rather amusing a month or so back when his errant shot broke a guy's watch and he walked right over to the guy and started pulling out $100 bills to hand the guy. Must be nice to just walk around with a wallet full of hundreds, I'd probably be smiling a lot too.

For a company losing money by the billion and laying off by the 25,000 you'd think they wouldn't have so cash to put their logo on Phil's titty.

Bland? Safe? Predictable? Corporate? Boring? Why, he's Jim Nantz' very bland wet dream.

But the magic of Mickelson is that he was able to overcome all his demons. He has also remained approachable during his recent string of success. He doesn't scowl like Tiger; Phil truly looks like he's enjoying his time out there on the course. Even on 18 I was wondering will he tripple bogey to send this into a playoff because 3 or 4 years ago he would have.

This was his third major which is huge. Norman won two and passing this mark means that you can the Mick can now look down on that Aussie piece o' crap like every other 3 time winner.
