Shooting for that #1 Spot

After a 2nd place finish at Quail Hollow Phil Mickelson finds him in a position he's never been in before.  With a win at The Players Championship and Tiger Woods finishing outside the top 5 Lefty would take over the number one spot in the World Golf Rankings.

Phil is playing some of his best golf lately and Tiger struggling I will be very surprised if Mickelson isn't #1 before the end of the summer.   The golf media has always tried to create a rivalry between Tiger and Phil but I'm not sure how much of a rivalry it was because Tiger was always on top.  If Lefty can overtake Tiger this will ignite the rivalry and have us all choosing sides, Phil or Tiger?

There has been talk of Tiger Woods losing his edge of late.  Whether it be because of his personal life, his treatment or his golf swing Tiger did not look himself at Quail Hollow and for the first time I can remember he quit on his round Friday.   I have no doubt in my mind Tiger will work through this and we'll see the Tiger Woods we have come to know before the end of the season.

With the drama going on with the number one spot in the rankings, The Players Championship starting Thursday, not to mention the amazing performances by Rory McIlroy and Ryo Ishikawa over the weekend, the golf world has a lot to be excited about.
