FedEx Cup be darned - Mickelson and Woods coming down to the wire is must-see TV

It feels like it’s been forever since Phil Mickelson was laying waste to a course on the PGA Tour, but that’s exactly what’s happening at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Three birdies in five holes has Lefty tied a shot up on Arron Oberholser with last week’s winner Steve Stricker just two shots behind. And three shots off the pace is Tiger Woods. Yes, playing in the same group, Mickelson and Tiger may battle it all the way down to the end at TPC Boston.

Could a magic finish be the impetus for making the FedEx Cup a grand success? Of course not. But make no mistake about it, watching Phil and Tiger fight it out in the final round is nirvana for golf fans and truly must-see TV.

Unless, of course, you live in an area where the Jerry Lewis Telethon bumps the PGA off the tube.

WKW,

According to all the Tiger sycophants, and that includes most of the members of these boards and a majority of the posters, Phil was supposed to quiver in fear of the invincible Tiger.

Oh,they said, Phil might be able to hold his own at first, but when crunch time came, when Tiger looked him straight in the eye and gave the news that the game was on, Lefty would wilt like two-week-old lettuce and Tiger would win it in a romp.

What happened?

What Butch told Phil about Tiger is this: The Great One wears bikini briefs with Hello Kitty on them. As such, Phil looks at Tiger like Henry Winkler looked at the other coach in The Waterboy: like a baby in swaddling clothes. Looks like you, Will Traveler, are coming around to the FEC, as I did. It's invigorating and addictive.
