filesmall Majors | commentmall Written by BigRed

Having won the Masters three times in his career, much was expected of Phil Mickelson at the 2012 Masters, especially considering that he already had a win on the year at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am back in mid-February. However, hardly anyone could have predicted what would unfold for Phil once the 2012 Masters began.

The 2010 British Open at “The Home of Golf” in St. Andrews (Scotland) turned out disappointing for Phil Mickelson. It seems that Lefty simply doesn’t perform as well in windy conditions and on links-style courses and that therefore the British Open is the hardest major for him to win.

Phil Mickelson has won his third green jacket in the 2010 edition of the US Masters after beating England’s Lee Westwood by three shots.

There is little doubt that shredders are smoking and wastebaskets overflowing after writers across the country throw away their original stories – those stories with some variation of the headline “Tiger cruises to 15th major”. Back the truck up, hold the phone, now just hold on a minute, stop the presses!

It’s referred to as Glory’s Last Shot. For some it can be the culmination of a great season.
For others it can salvage a poor or mediocre season. For still others (Shawn Micheel and Rich Beem), it can put their name on the golf landscape. For Phil Mickelson the tune-up is over. All the tires are changed. [...]
