So Phil Mickelson is going to work with Butch Harmon. Interesting. Maybe Butch can do for Phil what he did for Tiger. As my buddy the managing editor said, the first thing Butch needs to do is remind Phil not to take the club past parallel on his backswing. For my money, it sounds like Phil is lost and wandering in the wilderness of blown majors. Maybe Butch can fix his head as well as his swing. Until Mickelson changes his mentality, he can forget about adding another major to his portfolio. I’m waiting for his new instructional series that is sure to be entitled “Swing Thoughts of Our Lives.” Good luck to you, Phil. By the way, did you ask Butch to sign a pre-nuptial agreement?
