Phil Mickelson Wins Hideous Green Jacket
Honestly, that jacket looks like something you'd find at a Salvation Army.
Seriously though, it seems to me that Mickelson won the Masters simply because he made no mistakes on the back nine of Augusta, and everyone else screwed up.
Yeah I said it, Mickelson won because everybody else lost.
I mean did you see all the short putts that Tiger Woods and Fred Couples missed on the back nine?
Even if Tiger hadn't taken the lead, he might have been at -5 or -6, and that may have had an effect on "Lefty's" performance.
Everybody knows that Tiger Woods being near the top of a leaderboard at an event is disconcerting. It could of gotten Phil of his game.
If Couples had made some of those putts it might of also have thrown Mickelson off his game, especially since he was partnered with Freddy and they were the last group.
Some other interesting things about yesterday:
- Miguel Angel Jimenez's freaking ponytail, I mean, come on.
- Rocco Mediate's score of 10 on the 12th hole (which is a par 3 by the way). He hit it into the water, not once, but twice.He also must of hit it into the water again, but CBS decided to have mercy on Rocco and not show it. It does not end there though, when Mediate finally got it over the water, it blasted over the green and right into a bunker. I don't think I've even gotten a 10 on a par 3 hole!
- Tiger Woods obviously cussing after bad shots, it's why we watch.
- At one point Freddy Couples was standing to the back and left of his caddy and put something into the caddy's left pocket. What the hell? Was he tipping him?
- Tim "The South African Bulldog" Clark sinking that awesome shot out of the bunker on 18 to take sole command of second place.
