Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
If you had only watched the PGA Tour on Thursday and Saturday this week, you'd probably be wondering how many tournaments Phil Mickelson has won this year.The answer, of course, is zero, as Lefty has struggled the entire year leading up to the Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles where he won last season. The first round was a bogey free 63 where Mickelson needed only 22 putts.
Friday wasn't as easy, as Mickelson opened his round with a bomb on the first hole for eagle, moving to 10 under, but struggled the rest of the day, leaving shots on the course to the tune of a one over 72 that brought a group of people back in the tournament.
Saturday was much of the same from Thursday, with Phil opening another round with an eagle but following it up a little different, adding seven birdies including a stretch of four in a row from holes 14-17.
Mickelson's first sup-70 round of the year was Thursday, but the news was quickly overshadowed when his media-made foe, Tiger Woods, announced he'd be returning next week at the Accenture Match Play. Mickelson became the secondary story in the golf world but is back in the headlines after his nine under 62 on Saturday.
Andres Romero, who at 27 picked up his first PGA Tour win last year in New Orleans, is four shots back at 12 under, with Fred Couples, Rory Sabbatini, K.J. Choi and Scott McCarron all chasing at 11.
If Phil can keep it together in the final round, it will be his first win since May of last year.
