Back to Business...

A lot of has been happening in the golf world since my last blog post... I'm still trying to catch up. So the Fed Ex Cup has come and gone and several tournaments as well. Just recently, Mickelson is at it again after a huge win at HSBC Champions in China. So what does this mean for Phil?

Here are some comments

Cameron Morfit, senior writer, Golf Magazine: It's interesting the way Phil and Tiger's long, multi-faceted relationship is trending. Tiger used to own Phil like Hideki Matsui owns Pedro. Not anymore. At this moment in time, Phil is clearly the best player in the world. The question is, can he sustain it into 2010 and someday overtake Tiger in the ranking? The way Phil is putting, anything is possible. He seems reborn.

Alan Shipnuck, senior writer, Sports Illustrated: Phil's best golf has always been good enough to scare Tiger. The big difference is that Tiger plays at a high level every time he tees it up, while Phil usually only shows up for three or four weeks a year. I'll believe Phil is the best player in the world when he can sustain this level of play for a full season. (And pick off a couple more majors.)

So hopefully in 2010 we'll see a very competitive Mickelson.
