Following Tiger Into A Boogie hole

For a good while now Tiger Woods has been in a slump, and for a while now the talk has been that Phil Mickelson is getting ready to make his move on the PGA Tour to replace the Tiger as the number one ranked golfer in the world. But judging by the way Mr. Mickelson has been playing, one would think that he feels psychologically comfortable being number two to the Tiger. This weekend both champions played in the Bridgestone Invitational.tournament, and both performed dismally. They were blown out. Lucky for their ranking in the standings, another relatively unknown, Hunter Mahan, won the event. He won by two shots.

The Associated Press reports that "with Woods struggling, Mickelson could have moved up a spot to become No. 1 in the world rankings. Instead, he also had an abysmal round, shooting a 78. 'You're only as good as your last performance,' Mickelson said after falling from a tie for 10th place all the way to a tie for 46th. 'This wasn't very good.'"

The Tiger played his worst game ever at the Bridgestone. His play as been downhill since the news of his sex scandal broke last November. Why Mickelson; is playing so poorly as of late is the mystery.
