I guess this explains it. The things we say to earn a buck, eh?


On Thursday, menswear brand Mizzen+Main announced a partnership with the five-time major champ that will have Mickelson looking more formal at future tournaments.

“I was waiting to find the perfect apparel partner that allowed me to move from the board room to the golf course," Mickelson says in a press release. Of course you were, Phil. Of course you were.

As part of the deal, Mickelson now owns a stake in the company. He will begin wearing Mizzen+Main at this week's Players Championship, and we're guessing Mizzen+Main are pretty pumped about their guy's Thursday-Friday pairing with Tiger Woods.




Mickelson's day 1 score was +7, which was 13 shots off the lead.

I reckon it's a good look, I used to play cricket in something similar, smartish but kinda stretchy. Incredible to see his short game in tatters, nothing wrong with his shirt game though.

Jimmy Walker's in with a shout. 69-68 leaves him on -7 and currently T6.

One time with feeling please Jimmy!

A stunning round by Webb Simpson, including 6 straight birdies, followed by a double bogey at the watery 17th, has taken a lot of the punting fun out of the Players.

I selected 10 hopefuls, 2 of whom missed the cut, and any of the 8 could run into a place, but it'd need a minor miracle for any of them to win now. At one point I had a 100/1 shot briefly (very briefly) leading the field on Day 2, but Webb Simpson just blew them all away. So it's all about place money now for me.

Was really enjoying watching the whole thing, but once Webb had his hot streak, it sort of took the edge off it for me.

Rickie Fowler had a fun moment, mind.

His ball stuck in a palm tree, but although he could see a ball in the tree, he could not positively identify it. The spectators tried to help.

They showed this clip of Poulter, which amused somewhat;

You could always lump on Webb @2.84 to rekindle your interest - decent price if you think he's a certainty.

Seriously tempted Ralph, but I think I'll stick with what I've got, & hope 1 or 2 hold/run into a place, I've got 7 places, & if the right ones place I'll be out of it with a bit to spare. And if they don't, conkers will be done.

Webb is only 1/10 when leading after two rounds fwiw.

Sawgrass is just the track to trip anyone up & a stray shot or 2 could cost him his lead, but against that, how often has he been 5 shots clear?

As my previous, I'm tempted, but I'm gonna stick with my current team & just hope I get a sweat.

Really ? You don't think he's going to win it do you ?

I hope he does

Well I'd rather be on him at his original SP than any of mine at the moment.

[tikay]

I hope he does    

In that case, Lisa & Rinswun are surely right.



PS - Ha, go on my son.

How many are you on mate?
