Phil Mickelson Is Not A Wooden-Shafted Legend

I had no idea that song had words. I liked it better before I discovered that earlier in the week ... and I didn't like it much then. It's nothing personal, but I want to beat that guy to death with a 9-iron.

Anyway, Phil Mickelson was decent enough not to tease us with any thoughts that he might contend in today's final round at The Masters. He was actually in decent enough shape to start the day, at +6, just four back of the leaders. He wasted no time eliminating himself from any hope of contention today, though, triple-bogeying the first hole and relieving me of the nightmare of having sit through an afternoon of his fake-ass smile.

The leaders have yet to tee off, but the scores today generally don't seem as outrageously high as yesterday. Sandy Lyle, Angel Cabrera, and Freddy Couples are all going to have under-par rounds already, whereas there was only one subpar round all of yesterday. They must've watered the course, made the pin placements a little easier, and removed all windmills from the greens.
