Fairly famous golfer Phil Mickelson is my favorite PGA Tour Pro. I know, I know..I am an ASU homer to the core. Unapologetic. But Phil is an exciting player to watch, his tendency to go for it with certain impossible (unadvised) shots makes him somewhat unique in the golfing world.With 40+ wins and 4 'Major' victories he is a worthy opponent at all times.
40+ is a lot of wins. But then, he golfs in the age of Tiger Woods, who is sitting at almost 80 PGA victories, along with 14 'Major' victories. So, as is the norm for me, I am once again rooting for the underdog. 
Does this have to be so this time? At about half the total PGA victories, and less then half the 'majors', there is something I wonder. Yes, this is me now...who takes me serious anyway. But, Phil golfs as a lefty, always has. BUT....Phil is naturally...Right-Handed. He learned to golf left handed as he walked through the greens and fairways with his father, taking his lessons from his dad eye-to-eye.
So, hypothetically, what if Phil were to....take a page right out of Princess Bride and switch his 'sword' around to the other side? The dark side. I know, all the lefties in the world are surely offended. Blasphemy! But, Inigo Montoya almost pulled it off...
Tiger: Then Why Are You Smiling
Phil: Because I know something you don't know
Cheers, NCA
