That’ll probably just about do it for Phil Mickelson, whose final round is essentially dead in the water just a few holes into the day. Mickelson never really got comfortable on Sunday as he began his round with a couple of pars before getting to the par-3 fourth. And then everything went right off the rails in spectacular fashion.

Phil’s stubbornness was probably his downfall -- something we’ve seen time and again. After hitting his tee shot into the par-3 way left behind the grandstand and standing gallery, Phil decided to play out of the hazard. Oh, and he did it right-handed.
We went ahead and set the whole ridiculous sequence to the music it deserves -- Yakety Sax.
His second shot went a few feet, enough to force him to take another right-handed crack at it. That shot almost took out a cameraman. Moments later, he got too cute with a pitch and left it in a bunker. But hey, he got up-and-down out of the sand for triple.
Moral victories, you know.
