Phil Mickelson

he's in the field for the Chrysler Classic, if he plays do you give him any sort of chance?

Sure......why not?....I don't think anybody quite knows where his head's at, but maybe the long break gave him time to excorsize his demons and get back on track. We all know he's got the talent, now we just have to wait and see. Personally, I hope he does well. I'd like to see him rebound and have a great year.

Yeah, he will very likely contend and might even win.

If Phil can find the fairway he's got a chance to contend. It asking a lot for a guy who hasn't really played since last August, aside from the Ryder Cup, to win the his first tournament back. Most guys on tour when interviewed state it takes while to get back into the mental frame of mind to compete in tournments if they've been away from it for a while.

I agree...and he usually does better in the first half of the season. Having said that, I still have dreams of the end of the U.S. Open, especially of the Callaway execs/CEO probably standing up screaming..."what are you doing?"....and putting an iron through the TV tube (thinking of all the lost revenues they could have had if Phil won another major with Callaway driver).

Probably not the first time out, but I fully expect him to regain his form soon. He just has sooo much talent and he's overcome disappointment before.

Always a threat first up. I think a top 10 finish is more likely than a win.

i wouldn't surprised if Phil and Rick Smith went back to the drawing board and worked out some kinks in the armor. he'll be ready to go.

Philly Mick will be back. Im pulling for the guy. Lets put last year aside and focus on the coming season. Isnt that what the golf headcase gurus say? Dont focus on that last bad shot. Plan the next one and execute.

Phil will definitely make the top ten. Although he has not played alot since last year, he has no doubt been practising. he'll be in good form.

He's always a good West Coast player. Depends on how fat he's gotten over the off-season though. I could see him consoling himself with ice cream since the U.S. Open last year.
