DESCRIPTION
Phil Mickelson finds himself atop the leaderboard again. Gary Williams and Erik Kuselias from 'Morning Drive' tell you what part of Phil Mickelson's game sparked his impressive turnaround.
TRANSCRIPTS
-Sitting in the cozy Morning Drive studios for GolfChannel.com with
Gary Williams, I'm Erik Kuselias. And Phil Mickelson is just
balling right now. He gets the W last week. He
comes out on Thursday and has the lead. What is
impressing you most about what Phil is doing right now?
-He's not making any mistakes, Erik. And when he does,
it seems like he eradicates some immediately. When he misses
greens, he's making putts. He's 7th on the PGA Tour
in putting. And again, it's very early in the year
but he was 134th in putting last year. And, you
know, he has two bogeys in his last 54 holes.
Go back to the Waste Management. Seven bogeys and two
doubles. And you can go back to the previous week
at the Farmers Insurance. He only played two rounds. He
made eight bogeys. The guy is not making mistakes. He's
driving it well enough. And, when he's not missed hitting
fairways, he's-- he's putting it in areas where he can
play it. He's very confident and the light has gone
on. -For me, it is the consistency and it is
the excellence at the same time and that quantifies to
me with having a streak of 49 consecutive holes without
a bogey. Now, that ended at 16th on Thursday. But
then, he responds on 18th-- -Uh-huh. -with the long chip
to, you know, make the dinner reservations, you know, the
35-footer. And, it was often running. So, Phil right now
is just playing excellent consistent golf and he's-- as you
said, there are no lapses. And, 49 straight holes without
a bogey is sort of the proof positive that he
is getting it done. Now, last five times, he's lead
after the first round. He is closing out the deal.
We'll see if he can make it six in a
row and that would also be seven of eight. Phil
plays from ahead as well as anybody. Tiger has always
played really well from ahead specifically in majors. We've well
documented that. We'll see if we can play from ahead.
Monday, a very special edition of our program. We will
reveal live on this show exactly how the match play
is seated. Who will Tiger play? Who were the four
number one [unk]? You'll be able to find that out
on Monday at 7 a.m. with us right here on
Morning Drive. We'll see you then.
