His personality seems fake to me. And as far as the media is concern, he has gotten a HUGE break on his inconsistent play. When Woods was not Tiger, but a mediocre golfer...he had his chance to really take the lead because guys Donald, McIlroy and Watson were just getting started...HE was established with NO EXCUSES. And he fluttered and floundered. So now those guys I mentioned....started to make their move...and have stormed PAST Phil. Look how Tiger has played better...and has ALREADY stormed passed Mickelson.
For every missed cut when Woods sucked...front line news. For Mickelson, a quick blurb... Yep, he has gotten quite the break.
Phil does have arthritis, which can be very painful, but I had a boss who played in a number of the GMO (Greater Milwaukee Open) pro-am events and the pros with whom he played called Phil the least liked player. So, knowing that, it seems to me that Phil does much to cultivate the public with his displays, but Amy is the one who is actually liked. I've never liked him, but his missed putts are certainly entertaining.
I've never liked Sabbatini either, so awesome last round of the Memorial!
Looks like a great threesome at the Open. Looking forward to it!!! Phil often does well when paired with Tiger, so we'll see...
