Phil Flew To Vegas To Dump Butch

The jet fuel is definitely tax deductible and as Tim Rosaforte lays out in this GolfDigest.com item, Phil Mickelson gets bonus points for firing his legendary coach and friend in person.

This was not going to end bitterly, the way Harmon and Woods ended. Those two have hardly talked since 2002. Mickelson was equally as high road as Harmon, saying the teacher deserved to be told face to face.

"I respect him as a person and as a teacher and as a friend, and just wanted to talk to him in person about it,” Mickelson said. "It’s not something you do over the phone. He’s been good to me long before we ever started working together. That stuff is never easy, but it’s what he deserves.”

Harmon appreciated that. “He did it in a classy way,” he said.

Phil, I have Lifetime Networks on one, should I put them through to voice mail?
