Kostis Says Mickelson Clearly Didn't Put Enough Off Season Time In; Phil Posts 63

The analyst offered this CBS press release perspective on Mickelson's game before Phil torched Riviera with a first round 63.

The only thing consistent about Mickelson’s game right now is his inconsistency. Clearly he didn’t put enough time in preparing in the off-season. It seems like he would have found some answers. He is changing equipment almost weekly and it’s hard to really develop your golf swing when you always have different sets of iron and clubs in the bag. You need to pick something and stick with it…

Workouts. It's the workouts. He's lacking length, because he hasn't been working out.

Wait until tomorrow when he shoots a 73.

Phils scores this year...76, 73 MC in Phoenix. 72, 71, 71 T-55 on the cut number at Pebble and 70, 72, 73, 75 at San Diego.....zero rounds in the 60's until today. Seems to me it has taken three more weeks to get ready than it should have. What's the problem here?

Phil has always been streaky. He will look like a dog for a month, and look like a rival for Tiger the next month. He has never been a steady Eddie.

Phil is so talented, the last thing he needs is 2 drivers, no driver, 5 wedges, strong 3 wood, etc.

He just needs to work on his mind...and dump that good-for-nothing Dave Pelz.

Butch-you are too much! Phil needs to be your focus not Nick Watney!
The best thing is that Kostis stuck his spikes in his mouth, at least for the day.

All the streetlight banners show PHIL hitting a ball out of the rough;that's where he was most of the day

CHAS - where does that fit on the scorecard?
