Phil On New Muirfield 16th: "It's certainly more difficult."
/Phil Mickelson didn't sound particularly excited about Jack's redesigned 16th at Muirfield Village.
Q. The new 16th out there, what was your experience like on that?
PHIL MICKELSON: It's certainly more difficult. You know, you're hitting over the water. I thought that you were going to hit more up the green, kind of like 16 at Augusta, but really, you're coming at it from a whole different angle where you're having to fly over the water. I had to change the way I look at that hole.
I thought if we shot up the green I might think about 2 a few times, but really, I'll just try to make it 3 there.
Meanwhile, Dave Shedloski explains Phil's enthusiasm for a 2-iron that is part of his tee shot package heading into Congressional. It is NOT a supplement for his driver. At least for now.
