    Lefty looks to be Crowned

    Phil Mickelson was already frustrated by his slow start in the third round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational, where Calgary's Stephen Ames is in the hunt.

    Only a few guys have the guts to pull a shot off like that. One of them is Phil, the other one has a bum knee.
    Phil the Thrill strikes again.
    Then he calmly rolls in the putt
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

    This is where Phil impressed me the most, he is a risk taker and he knew that if he did not try it and opted for a little punch to the fairway and hope that he could stick it close and make par was unlikely. He wanted to win and the aggressive shot made that possible. If his shot did not hit the little sidehill of the outside of the bunker that ball would have rolled within inches of the pin.

    Unbelievable, Pampling and CLark could only tip their caps to that!

    You can watch a snippet of said shot on pgatour.com, but it won't do it justice, as it does not show the shot from the blimp.

    Basically his tee shot is right, in the middle of a bunch of tall trees. He is surrounded by them. He takes out his 52° wedge and hits an incredible shot . I honestly could not believe what my eyes were seeing....

    yep, on 18. Tied for the lead. needs birdie to win. hits it left on his drive, in the middle of the trees - looks like all he can do is punch it out. pulls out a 64 deg wedge and knocks it stiff to about 10 feet. calmly rolls in the putt for bird and the win.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.
