I think it is safe to say that the 2013 Open Championship
certainly had 800 drama especially on the final day
Tiger Woods was decent you could say
his I'll winless major streak
unfortunately continues because he simply planted himself
out Aleve being at the top up the leaderboard throughout the entire
Open Championship now Phil Mickelson was behind Lee Westwood of course I
is from england is forty-years-old he is 0 majors
a in his entire PGA career it was surprising to see that because he's
always in the running
to certainly couldn't close the deal he was the leader today
at the Open Championship Phil Mickelson was what seemed like Miles
miles of the leader Lee Westwood now he won
%uh the Scottish Open last week and a few weeks ago
he tied for excuse me he finished second which seems like it always happens with
lefty
at the US Open and he just looks so beaten
and he just looks so disappointed and then it just hurt him so much
but certainly he would not be heard after this day so good he was
love far off the lead a Lee Westwood Westwood
bogeyed four of his last 12 holes the seven foley et bunker problems
he struggled in the bunker no English and by the way has one
the Open Championship since 1992 when Nick Faldo won he won it
twice and course Gary Player and many others want a
Ian Poulter started in 19th place he had a phenomenal last round obviously
overshadow
by who won but he did and at one over par
as a separate Tiger Woods started within two shots simply played himself out
the when this major street continues for Phil Mickelson is 43 years old
he is finished second at the Open Championship
two times in nineteen appearances the round that he had
was simply remarkable he
end to the day five strokes back and Lee Westwood he entered five strokes back
of love Lee Westwood lead he
on the par-5 17 he had a phenomenal shot that carried
onto the green it was an ego opportunity he finished with a birdie on 18
there he had a great shot as well it was around four phenomenal shots
for Phil Mickelson on 18 he had a pic of the lip of the bunker and then went on
to the green it was a phenomenal all
and then he finished in epic fashion
with another birdie he would go on to birdie four of its final six holes a5
under 66 hosting the Claret Jug
any had just the most simplistic
speech after he won seems like he's a very simple guy
is Phil Mickelson 34 the front 32 on the back and one bogey six birdies the only
player in the last 11 group
to break 70 it is forty second PGA Tour win five majors is going for the Grand
Slam
the career Grand Slam obviously he needs to win the US Open to complete that
he has the number two world ranking once again this Phil Mickelson
his approach shots were totally on and near-field
and seven in the last 13 majors won by the players
who started the day behind the we are so Phil Mickelson is obviously one of those
Adam Scott certainly struggled he could I became the first Masters and Open
champion
winner since 2005 when Tiger that it certainly he did not
so now we look at the leaderboard %uh the Phil Mickelson when's the Open
Championship congratulations to him at 3-under
henrik Stenson of Sweden is even a third Lee Westwood
Adam Scott in Poulter all a one-over-par
in Poulter finished with a 67 obviously totally overshadowed by Phil Mickelson
rightly so
but Ian Poulter also had a great day Matsuyama Zack Johnson and Tiger Woods
all tied for six
to see Phil Mickelson not only birdie for the last six holes and shoot a
5-under 66
but it those were great but to see him
just rally heehee 11 last week
at the Scottish Open so he somewhat may have had a leg up and the North
certainly appointed at that and that certainly nothing that I could disagree
with
but the fact that the rebound in like this any finished
second for a record six-time of he is
he was always known as a lovable loser that he said winning here and there
but this did just to see this order rebound in a major championship like the
open
%uh the British Open its astonishing it's great to see this sort of being
played
and it's so incredibly mentally said that he didn't wanna
look at the leaderboard at all when he was a breakfast this morning in
you know the the night before his final round
and he just wanted a clear mind he wanted to be as relaxed as possible
and he certainly was Phil Mickelson congratulations it was a phenomenal
a a phenomenal round it was great watching and seeing the shots that he
made
over and over again on a course but certainly provided no favors for any
other players
he may have got a a bit of a favorable balance under 18 when it kicked off the
lip of the bunker 21 onto the green
but his approaches were on he was playing phenomenal golf
congratulations the film it
