My son jolted me awake early this morning because he’d had a nightmare. While walking him around, I turned on the first hour of TNT’s coverage (which would start even earlier if anyone in TV cared about the West Coast, but more on that in a later blog). As the images from Royal Birkdale came into view, it became apparent that the little guy could have been dreaming about Phil Mickelson trying to play links golf.
That’s enough to scare the sleep out of anyone.
For there Mickelson was, bundled up against the whipping wet winds, kicking away another major opportunity. Mickelson already stood at plus seven shortly after TNT went on the air. He’d finish 9-over, which is actually almost as predictable as Tony Romo doing something to attract attention to himself.
You almost knew that Phil would find a way to play even worse with no Tiger Woods in the field. All these years, Tiger has actually been taking pressure off Phil. When Mickelson is the clear No. 1 star, the headliner, he cannot cope.

Amazing, rats like you feed on left over sewer scum and thing someone craping in your sewer is good for your blog.
Maybe that is why your not able to get a respectible job writing real journalism. No one would hire a loser like you so you settle for writing for a cess pool and you fit perfectly in the pile of mess.
So...what's the stink? Can't I have a son and besides, why does everyone in my blog think I'm such a stupid chipmunk looking loser?
And you are correct, sadly, about Phil. Did Phil ever grow up in bad weather? San Diego to Arizona to wealthy San Diego...nope, doesn't look like it. Can't imagine the folks took him on vacation to rainy coastlines to prepare him for moments like these.
Still smiling, though. Might even make the cut.
On another note: Wie-Wee is not onlt a poor golfer....she is incompetent (or stupid). She forgot to sign her card!
Sue Witters, the LPGA’s director of tournament competitions, disqualified Wie in a small office in an LPGA trailer at the golf course after asking her what had happened.
“She was like a little kid after you tell them there’s no Santa Claus,” Witters said.
Stupid girl.
Baldy - keep poking the ROMO Rednecks...it is SOOO much fun watching their patheic efforts to spell, punctuate, and construct sentences that don't contain the word YEE-HAW......*grin*
