Phil's Personal Record

I realize a lot of you out there don't like Phil Mickelson for numerous reasons, but Phil has done something that I assume deserves all and sundry's respect.

Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson has been in the Top50 of the OWGR for 25 straight years ... and he's done it during the "dominant Tiger" era.

Will Gray posted a short piece about it at golfchannel.Com if you need to study it. But here's the lengthy and the quick of it:

Phil moved to forty seventh within the OWGR on Nov. 28, 1993, received at Kapalua to start the 1994 season and has been there ever for the reason that.
That is nothing short of amazing in these times when players make such huge moves up and down in the rankings, and Phil's done it while managing psoriatic arthritis, which is incurable, and dealing with his wife and his mother's bouts with cancer.

Simply tremendous. That's an accomplishment that needs to be recognized, no matter the way you experience about him.
