In this post we wondered, and made predictions about, Lefty’s final position after leading the Peege in its first day. My prediction then: Tied for 13th. Final result: Tied for 23rd. Knew there was a 3 in there somewhere …
You knew I’d have to offer a snide comment here at some point, yes? And here it is: Follow the link above to Phil’s website, and you’ll read this …
What separates Mickelson from his peers is there truly is more to this young man than his smooth swing, silky putting stroke, booming drives off the tee and creativity around the greens.

Yes … a link to the greats … greats who won major tournaments …
