Phil Chooses To Study Classic Club Course Changes From Safe Confines of Rancho Santa Fe
/Larry Dorman reports:
Mickelson will be skipping the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, which starts Jan. 16, for the first time since 2001, and there is sure to be speculation that he is not happy with the change of courses at a tournament where he has won twice.Just wanted to make sure you were reading!
He has not played since winning the HSBC Champions in China in early November.
“Taking more than two months off sounds like a long time, but I’ll have to be fresh and ready to go when the 2008 season starts because I’ll play five in a row starting in San Diego,” Mickelson said on his Web site. "Plus, I just really, really hate the Classic Club."
Larry Bohannan documents the changes to the Classic Club that Phil will not experience this year.
