The Right Guy Won

Like you, I found myself on Sunday riveted watching the Masters.  Partly it was out of curiosity as to how Tiger Woods would fare in this tournament.  Being in the golf business, Tiger means everything to golf.  It is a well known fact that ratings for golf go up 50% when he plays.  Had he won, there would have been a new buzz in the golf community.  But after seeing Phil Mickelsen win and dedicate the win to his wife, I found myself a little choked up.  Here is one guy dedicated to his wife, his marriage, his kids.  I went to Firestone a few years back and followed Mickelsen and he always struck me as cordial and friendly.  I complimented him on a shot and he even turned to me and said thanks.  Wow!  We all know the Woods saga and I wish for his sake and golf that his act is together.  He did not come off well in the CBS interview where in my mind he basically said "I come to win and my behavior is what it is".  But we need more guys like Phil Mickelsen as role models.  He seems to know his priorities.  And he is a heckuva golfer.
