Mickelson Birdies 16 With Megaputt

How much less enjoyable would it be to watch this clip of Phil Mickelson going to 12-under for the Masters and drawing even closer to tournament leader Jordan Spieth without the presence of CBS’s Verne Lundquist? Without Verne, it’s just a girthy man pumping his fists in the air....

It’s not news that the slideshow is a poor (but lucrative) method of framing a story on the internet, but the topic of this Golf Digest effort—“The Hottest Patrons at Augusta”—is just awful. For a magazine that recently banked on side boob on the cover, this is still quite lazy. ...
