What's wrong with Phil Mickelson?
Phil Mickelson reported in this year in the best shape of his life -- OK, well, sort of. An offseason regimen of weightlifting, martial arts, and cardio left Lefty with a self-proclaimed "15 pounds of muscle," somewhere on his body. I've seen some photos, and Phil does look slimmed down from last season.
Well,so far, Phil has started out pretty cold. Today, he shot a 1-over par at the FBR Open at the TPC in Scottsdale, a tourney that Lefty has won several times before and usually eats up. He currently stands in 88th place, and is 8-strokes behind the leader Dudley Hart. It's still early in the tourney and early in the season, but it's not a good start for Phil. Leaderboard

I don't think anything is "wrong" with Phil. He doesn't have the burning desire to be the best and is content to win the occassional tournament. The problem is with the expectations that we have of Phil. He will never be number 1, he will never be better than Tiger, and he is OK with that. We should be too.
phil gave up his desire to be #1 when he figured out that he couldn't be better than tiger. his "burning desire" would be there if not for that. his phake "all family, all the time" media friendly persona is a joke. just ask his colleagues on TOUR who voted him most despised in the GQ poll a year or so ago.
perhaps he should go back to a strict regimen of in and out burger and ben and jerry's.
No real desire left and thats unfair to his fans who should know that. Also the goodie goodie image is so false as he and Amy have lost millions in Vegas that could have gone to a good cause. Back off fans and start rooting for Tiger a real champion by all standards.
