Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial

Did anyone see Phil Mickelson's 18th hole yesterday? It was an eerily similar situation as the 2006 US Open. Remember when Mickelson imploded on the 72nd hole that year? This tournament was heading in the same direction. Same type of tee shot and same decision making. Fortunately for Mickelson, he actually pulled it off this time.

Although that is Mickelson's typical self, being aggressive, I was waiting for Bones (his caddie) to talk him out of the shot because of the last time he was in that situation. If he would have done the same thing as the 2006 US Open at Wingfoot, he would have never lived it down.

Anyway, props to Mickelson for pulling it off. It was a pretty lucky shot because it cleared in the bunker by about 3 feet.
