There is a huge gap in the stats across the top four world ranked players.

When they make the cut:

Tiger Woods wins 29.3%, top-10 67.5%
Phil Mickelson wins 11.2%, top-10 43.9%
Sergio Garcia wins 4.6%, top-10 39.0%
Geoff Ogilvy wins 3.0%, top-10 20.8%

The odds against anyone catching Tiger are huge, as long as he is playing. In a game with so many physical and psychological variables, anyone winning virtually 30% of the time seems unreal.

What are the chances of Phil overcoming these odds to get to #1? Or even to win when Tiger is in the field?

What those stats tell me, as someone who has never been a Phil Mickelson fan, is that he really doesn't get credit for being as good as he is when some of his stats are analyzed, i.e. wins, percentage, etc.

909D3 (Voodoo, stiff)
King Cobra Comp 5w (YS 5.1 Stiff)
AP1 4,5; AP2 6-P; Vokey 252 08, SM56 14, SM60 08 (Nippon N.S. Pro 950GH Regular)
Newport 2 Mid Slant

I was thinking thta as well. Winning one out of ten is better than I would have thought before looking it up. That's a pretty good rate. He has a lot of work to do to overtake a guy who wins almost 3 of 10.

I agree Phil does not get enough respect.

It would be interesting to know Phil's winning percentage when Tiger is in the field. How much lower than 11.2% ? ? ?

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
