So, as difficult as it is to believe such a thing after the Tiger Woods horror show this weekend in Akron, Ohio, you should ignore the man behind the driver that sprays balls all over the place. You should ignore the man with the irons that botch the easiest of approach shots.

I'm influenced by the following: every time I enter my office at home, I see a huge framed copy of a front sports section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution with Woods as the dramatic theme. There, clothed in one of his brilliant red shirts, is Tiger, right arm raised in triumph, smoking putter in the other, mouth wide to yell the words of somebody who just won his fourth Masters.PGA Phil Mickelson Firestone St Andrews
