Phil mickelson misses cut at colonial afraid of pink too

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP)—There will be no Phil in pink at the Colonial—and no top ranking.

Phil Mickelson shot a 3-over 73 Friday for his second consecutive over-par round, putting him at 4 over for the tournament. While there were still plenty of players left to finish, the projected cut when Lefty walked off the course on an ideal day for scoring was 1 under.

“I played terrible. I don’t know what to say,” Mickelson said. “The course was in great shape, there was no wind and there were a lot of birdies out there, and I just played terrible.”

So Lefty blew his chance of snatching the #1 spot in the world by cranking out a cool 6 over par on his last 34 holes to miss the cut at the Colonial. Can’t say that’s the biggest of surprises. When Lefty goes down, he goes down hard. But more importantly, we lost out on the chance to watch Phil and his man boobs wear pink with all the other pro golfers and their man boobs. Hardly a site for sore eyes.

I’m a fan of Lefty. I hope he does touch the #1 ranking because it would be a great accomplishment in his, or anyone’s, career. Especially in the heart of the Tiger Woods era. It’s not easy to increase your legend while another is creating a new golfing record book and standard of greatness.

The US Open is next month, an historically bad tournament for Phil (blow up – wise). I wouldn’t look for Phil to take over the top spot by that time, but we know there will be fireworks in his attempt to do so.
