It’s official: Mickelson driven to fears, switches to Harmon
Phil Mickelson has left long time swing coach Rick Smith for Butch Harmon. It all goes back to errant driving. Here’s what the Golf Channel reported:
“It wasn’t just that one drive on 18,” Mickelson said earlier this year. “I missed them through the entire tournament, but that one drive made me look back at the entire tournament to say, ‘What’s going on here?”‘ Mickelson said he and Smith were devising a plan to take the left side out of play off the tee, and while he was flawless in winning by five shots at Pebble Beach, his game quickly began to deteriorate at Bay Hill and Doral as he made his way to the Masters.”
Phil, you’re asking for miracles. Your swing is too long, your equipment is too hot, to give you much control over your driver. Time to start putting 3 drivers in the bag.
