Phil and Vijay Survive 18 Holes Together Without Incident
/Mark Lamport-Stokes reports on the lovebirds getting through the round without incident, while Steve Elling shares Phil's answer to the post-round question, "How does it feel to be the best player never to have won a WGC?"
"It would be nice to win a WGC, it really would," Mickelson said. "I haven't really thought about it too much. I think maybe 20 years from now or 30 years from now they'll have prestige, much like I think the guys who first won the Masters had no idea what this tournament was going to become.
"I have no idea where the WGCs will be 30 years from now. They started midway through my career, so I haven't given them the priority like I do a major or care about like a major.
"But they are always the best fields in the game, they're always on great golf courses, they're always on tough tests of golf, so I think there's a lot of merit to whoever wins those, yeah."
In 20 to 30 they'll have prestige? Ouch!
