PINEHURST, N.
New
Balance 574 Sweatshirt .C. – No one expected Phil Mickelson to win last
years British Open championship. Its not the style of course or game that has
favoured the lefthander. Yet win he did. By contrast, everyone is expecting
Mickelson to win this week, in the championship he wants to win more than any
other and has broken his heart six times. Golf fair? Golf understandable? Not
when it involves Lefty. Here at Pinehurst, Mickelson will try one more time to
not only break through and win the tournament he wants most, but also to join
that exclusive club of career grand slam winners that has just five members.
"Its a career goal of mine to win all four majors," Mickelson admitted. "I feel
like the five players that have done that, have separated themselves from the
other players throughout all time. It shows that they have a complete game. If
Im able to do that, I feel that I would look upon my own career differently." It
wasnt that long ago that Mickelson had no majors and everyone wondered if hed
ever get his first. And certainly last year, very few were predicting hed win
the Open Championship. Now hes on the edge of greatness, but that edge is a wide
chasm he must get across. For the first time since 2003, Mickelson comes into
the Open without a victory. Worse than that, he hasnt even managed a top-10
finish. Still, he remains relatively optimistic. "I feel as good about my game
today as I have all year," he stated. "Its not saying a lot, because I havent
played well all year, but last week was a good week for me. I started to slowly
put it together." Last week was a tie for 11th spot at the FedEx St. Jude
Classic, and a far cry from what he wants here. The weak link in his game this
year has clearly been his putting. Hes ranked 103rd in Strokes Gained –Putting.
A year ago, he finished the year in sixth. Things have gone so poorly on the
greens that this week, Mickelson has decided to change things up after
conferring with putting coach Dave Stockton. "The greens here are quick,"
Mickelson stated, "and so Im actually going to go back to the claw grip this
week in an effort to have a little bit lighter grip pressure and create a softer
roll so that I get some of the hit out of it. I was running them way by last
week and by taking my bottom hand off the putter, it eliminates some that hit."
Of course it wouldnt be a major if Phil wasnt taking some sort of risk. Two
drivers. No drivers. Phrankenwood. Driver when he should hit three-wood.
Sometimes the moves pay off, other times he slaps his head and scolds himself.
And he waits for another year, another chance. After six silver medals,
Mickelson says he tries not to look at what might be possible, what it would be
like to raise the trophy he wants more than any other on Sunday evening. He
knows the disappointment too well. But he is, after all, only human. "I try not
to, because I dont want to get ahead of myself," he said. "But its only natural
that its going to. Occasionally Ill catch myself, but I really try not to,
because I really just want to focus on what I need to do to get ready for
Thursday. If I can do that, hopefully Ill give myself a chance on the weekend.
But when I jump ahead, that never really works out good, at least in the past .
. . six times." This will be Mickelsons 24th attempt at winning the U.S. Open
and he believes it may be his best. Of course he said something like that last
year, too. And the year before. If nothing else, Phil is the eternal optimist.
But this course might just prove him right. Pinehurst No. 2 is tailored to a
game such as Phils – or at least Phils when hes on. He proved that back in 1999
although the last time around, in 2005, he was a non-factor in a tie for 33rd.
"This place is awesome," he gushed. "It is just a wonderful site. This is the
first -- well I really believe that this week is testing a players entire game.
Because it forces you to make decisions, make good decisions, to choose the
right club off the tee, hit solid iron shots into the green, and utilize your
short game to save strokes. Theres no luck involved with the hack-it-out rough
that sometimes we have around the greens. Its just a wonderful test that is, I
think, the best test Ive seen to identify the best player." Whether Mickelson
can be the best player this week is the question a lot of people are asking. Its
also a question hes asking himself. And one hes hoping he can finally answer.
