Jack,

Thank you. However, all my posts are well thought out. You may want to consider the fact that I've hardly ever been wrong in my predictions.

Don't tell me Phil is lousy under pressure. You don't win 30 tournaments if you fold under pressure.LOOK AT HIS STATS. And the jelly belly comment . Phil looks great!! I've seen him play this year. Why don't you be a bit professional and stop with the low blows. YOU are one of the many who are jealous of PHil for a lot of reasons!!

The point some of you miss about Mickelson is that he is an underachiever due to psychological frailty, much like Greg Norman, only not as bad. With his talent, he should have captured at least six majors by now but, alas, golf is about far more than just physical ability.

I'm not putting him down; the fact of the matter is that very few possess Woods-like fortitude. And if we're honest with ourselves, we'll realize that we're no exceptions.

Moreover, this has now happened a plenitude of times, and the more it does happen, the more emotionally scarred he'll be. I'll also point out that I said a long time ago, when most everyone else was claiming that Mick's first major win would make him a changed man, that he would continue to be a fragile competitor.

Mick is too good to not win more majors, but he'll always be prone to faltering down the stretch. As an old Chinese proverb says, "It's easier to change the height of a mountain or the flow of a river than the nature of a man."

With all those smiling, Phil is just hiding his abnormal nervousness,Phil should train with the marines to get rid of all the abnormality of his nervous system. Nervousness is normal abnormal nervousness is abnormal.

Phil has 30 PGA Tour wins, has won a major each of the last three years, and just won two weeks ago. What's the problem? He is the most exciting player in the game is clearly the second biggest draw in golf. Winged Foot will sting for a while, but he'll shake it off just like Palmer. I expect Phil to win another major and maybe 3-4 wins this year.

I was just waiting for Phil to blow the final hole and he did. Club selection, poor, flop shot, poor. This is supposed to be the best flop shot guy on tour right? I think he need a new caddie, someone that can say.."Phil, wait, no, let's take a moment and think this over". but time after time, he rushes his critical shots, and he blows it. It's going to get into his head soon, and he will be terrible under any pressure. I hope he does well in the guture, but yesterday was just pathetic.
