Of that I'm sure.
One of my mates that I played Pennant with years ago catches up with an ex PGA Tour player that we both used to play against in Pennant before he turned pro.

He tells my mate some interesting stories about Phil. There's public fan Phil....and then there's another Phil.
 
Yes, he didn't miss him did he. Good on him.
What Phil said was spot on. The Saudi’s are a disgrace and anyone taking their filthy cash condone their regime.
Never liked Phil but he’s gone up in my estimation. Rory is a pussy.

Yes, the Saudi's are a disgrace, but Mickelson's statement criticising them came after he had been over there taking outrageous appearance money off them to play golf there. At the same time he was slagging off the US Pga Tour.

He now appears to have got cold feet, and is not going to take anymore of the Saudi's money, and is not joining their proposed tour.

Don’t most of the public think Phil is a tosser?

Anyway, he’s backed away from the Bonesaw Tour.

But most won’t forget.

Mickelson has apologised, hasn't exactly used the mental health line, but reckons he has been stressed for the last 10 years.

You've made your bed Mickel$on.

Stressed ? After he won the US PGA last year he was going on about how fit he was, new lease of life, how he never felt better etc etc.

But wasn't Phil planning on taking that filthy cash to leverage the PGA tour for more money himself? He was complaining not that long ago about how the PGA make money from his likeness without him seeing a cent of it, yet the PGA tour has made him and extremely wealthy man through the massive prize purses up for grabs. Struck me as hyprocritical to acknowledge the dodginess of the Saudi regime yet be considering joining them anyway.

Don’t normally go much for the Honda Classic but that was a very entertaining finish today.

The normally unflappable Berger blows a 5 shot lead shooting +4 on the first 6 holes. The equally tough Lowry plays super to get a lead only for Sepp Straka to come from the clouds (in a massive late round downpour) over the last few holes to win.

An Austrian wins for the first time so that’s good.

Was a cracking finish. Reckon the rain worked well for Straka, Lowry would want his drive back on 18, seemed to rush in the rain which is surprising for an Irishman. Berger found his inner Shark.

Interesting the lack of the big boys playing in the Honda, makes me wonder if it's a bit hard for them.
It’s not a great course plus they come off a big California-desert swing. A heap will be back for Bay Hill this week. Arnie’s house.

Yeh they’ve got Bay Hill, The Players (Sawgrass) and The Masters in just over a month. Good time to freshen up.
