The Mickelson report
Phil’s back, and kicking. So how did Phil get over blowing the U.S. Open? Gene Wojciechowski reports here:
Mickelson’s 7-year-old daughter, Amanda, who was born the day after Lefty finished second at the 1999 U.S. Open, led the charge as soon as the front door opened.
“Did you win, daddy?” she said.
“No,” said Mickelson.
“I’m sorry,” she said. “But second is soooo good,” she said. “Second is wonderful.”
And then she paused. “Do you want pizza?”
Take a mulligan: OK, that’s awfully sweet, but if it were my kid, she would’ve said, “Daddy, do you want a slice of pizza? How about two slices?”
