Phil Unlikely to Defend Title


Phil Mickelson looks like he's totally losing it. Recently at the CA Championship he had a opening round 77, followed by rounds of 72, 70, and 69. He has only been a factor in one tournament this season where he should have won with the Sunday lead, but then melted down to lose in the end. Mickelson has said that he had no energy left at the Ryder Cup last year so he took several months off and worked soley on his conditioning, losing 25 pounds and gaining back 10 of muscle. Despite this offseason work, it looks like the meltdown from the US Open is still dogging him. He was a total non-factor in defending the PGA Championship against Woods last year and going into this year's Masters, it looks like more of the same. Any way you slice it, it's over for Phil. Breakfast Ball's prediction: Phil misses the cut next week.

Misses the cut?!?! Sir, that seems like a quite a bold move. Whilst I don't think he will be in contention, I do think he will make the cut.
