ronmon,

That's just a ridiculous comparison. Phil M is the #2 ranked player in the world; regarded by many as the Great Hope against Woods. His stated desire is to win majors. The #2 player blowing a two shot lead with three to play at the US Open?; a double-bogey on number 18 with a one shot lead? One of the worst collapses in major championship history. It ranks with Norman in '96 at Augusta. Players of their caliber are held to a higher standard. Who had heard of Van de Velde? Has he been heard from since?

Unfortunately, Mickelson's breakdown came at the most inopportune time. This was also the championship he said that he most wanted to win. It was a very sad sight to see him after the round was over.

I don't think that Phil's collapse compares to Van de Velde at Carnoustie. Phil bogeyed a hole that many others had failed to par. Van de Velde tripled a hole that no one else tripled.
