Phil Mickelson beats the pack (Tiger) to win World Golf Championship


With all of the hype around Tiger Woods coming back to the tour, hopefully Phil’s weekend doesn’t get over-looked. He was quoted saying he did not eat for three days, and was checked into the hospital for dehydration. Last time I checked dehydration symptoms include fatigue, weakness, chills and head rushes. The game of golf can be looked at as more of a mental challenge than a physical, so although he wasn’t limping onto the tee-blocks like Tiger did at the US open (can I say embellished, reminding me of that die-hard street hockey guy who is only limping right after he scores), Phil battled being very sick, a sickness that most people wouldn’t get out of bed for let alone go finish off the field.
I love Tiger..who doesn’t lets just say the way Mr. Mickelson needs to stay on the course as much as possible, he has to be the favourite to win the masters which is coming up in a month…just in time to get all of us Canadians ready to TEE it up.

Gripper and Ripper everyone.
