"I don't know which one is right, but it's kind of hard for both to be right."

Very entertaining Bob Verdi interview with Phil Mickelson in the latest Golf Digest. A few of the highlights:

GD: You were criticized for taking driver out of your bag for the first two rounds.

PM: And I was criticized for using driver too much at Winged Foot. I don't know which one is right, but it's kind of hard for both to be right. At Winged Foot, I was able to contend and almost win by hitting it in the rough, but far down in the rough. At Torrey Pines, I wasn't able to contend by hitting it short in the rough. I probably would have started with driver last year if I had known I was going to miss so many fairways with the 3-wood.

But didn't Phil contend that he didn't need driver because he was thinking No. 13 would be played from the back tee, making it seemingly unreachable for four days? (Turned out it was even reachable from that tee!).

My point: seems the fluid tee concept played some role in making this turn out to be a poor decision, no?

GD: Do you ever see yourself in the broadcast booth? Could you be the next Johnny Miller or Nick Faldo?

PM: No. I don't want to be a commentator. I enjoy mental challenges. I enjoy starting things; I enjoy being creative. I really enjoy business. I started a business a couple years ago, in fact, that will be up and running soon.

Ouch! Take that players-turned-golf broadcasters!

He also goes into his concept for a revamped tour schedule. I like the creativity, but I can see why the Commish gave it about 20 seconds of deliberation.
