Phil Mickelson
2005 PGA Champion
Lefty notched his 2nd major championship and his 4th victory of the season today. This elevates him to another level in my opinion, like him or not. There are plenty of players out there with one major, but winning two is whole new ball game.
Some thoughts:
In the last two years Tiger has two majors, Phil has two majors.
Phil is now half way to a career slam.
The “Big 4” turned into the “Big 5,” but now it should be called the “Big 3.”
TaylorMade has had the “#1 driver on tour” for some 190 consecutive weeks now. The r7 series with the 4 movable weights has been one of the biggest equipment stories in the past several years.
Enter the new r5 Dual TP Driver. The r5 TP is the latest movable weight driver offering from TM. Rather than the 4 weights the r7 employs, the r5 TP uses two located in the back of the club.

Set your Tivo:
PGA Championship Monday finish will be on CBS 10 a.m.-2 p.m. ET.
ALERT: Weather delay at the PGA Championship.
Rats! We have to wait until tomorrow to see if Phil can get his 2nd major, or if Elk, Bjorn, VJ or someone else gets it. Tiger doesn’t have to wait around since he’s already done at -2.
The leaderboard as it stands when play was suspended:
Phil Mickelson -4 after 13 holes (he’s putting for par on 14)
Steve Elkington -3 after 15
Thomas Bjorn -3 after 14
Tiger Woods -2 finished
Vijay Singh -2 after 15
Davis Love III -2 after 13
Retief Goosen -1 after 16
Does this delay help or hurt any of the contenders? I think perhaps it may hurt Elk.
Well, well, well. Davis Love III shot -2 in round three of the PGA Championship to put himself into a tie with Phil Mickelson. Phil barely “held on” to his lead by shooting two over for the day.
Meanwhile three notable rounds would be Tiger shooting 66 to get back to even par, and Thomas Bjorn tying the course record with a 63. Bjorn’s 63 got him into third place. Daly putted with his sand wedge for a while after having some kind of “disagreement” with his putter.
Sunday should shape up to be quite interesting. Instamarv surely sees a low 60’s round and a victory for Tiger. While the Phil haters will be rooting for anyone but him. I wonder what the pressure will do to Phil and DLIII. Will they both melt down or are we in for a duel to remember?
I think Tiger will make his presence known but fall short. I think Bjorn emptied his clip today. You don’t usually see two really low rounds together on Sat and Sun in majors. Phil and DLIII may be concentrating on each other but a back door victory by Vijay, Appleby or even Ben Curtis is highly likely. Ben Curtis does know how to win via the back door after all…
