Mickelson trying to get it together

Phil Mickelson's star presence at the Deutsche Bank Championship was evident by the company he kept at TPC Boston on Thursday. He played the pro-am with tournament host Seth Waugh, the CEO of Deutsche Bank Americas; New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and NFL New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft. Such is the VIP treatment typically afforded to the highest-ranked player in the field. PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup standings aside, that honor still falls to Mickelson. He is No. 2 in Official World Golf Ranking, although it's easy to forget that. Because while Tiger Woods has been out of sight for two months after his season-ending knee surgery, Mickelson -- at times -- has been missing in action. Some thought he would take advantage of Woods' absence by piling up victories, perhaps another major or two, and giving himself a chance to win the money title or PGA TOUR Player of the Year for the first time in his career. But it hasn't worked out that way.

How sad for Phil, no matter what he does he will never be considered the best player on tour.

Did Phil try to steal a Pats ring from Kraft when they shook hands like that Russian guy did?

That's because he's NOT the best player on tour.

We may have seen the last of Muktech. I fear Phil put out a contract on him, and Muktech is 'swimmin' wid da fishes'.
