Old Lefty isn't done just yet. He still got game. Serious game. How else to explain him winning the World Golf Championship in Mexico this past week? For that matter, he's been right there in several tournaments this year. Top ten finishes galore.
It's kinda neat to see the old guy beating up on the kids for a change. True, 47 isn't exactly ancient, but Mickelson was out on the PGA tour before some of the young studs he competes with were even born.
But good things happen when you keep rolling in 10-20-30 foot putts and keep the bonehead shots to a minimum.
You gotta feel for Justin Thomas. Obviously, he made the cut, no surprise there, to be playing on the weekend. Then he goes out and shoots back-to-back rounds of 62 and 64, incredible stuff, but doesn't win? Wow.
On an unrelated note, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell turned in an eye-popping performance of his own. He ran the 40 yard sprint in a time of 5.41.
On the surface that time doesn't seem particularly noteworthy. Most, but not all, lumbering linemen behemoths could probably best that time. But consider this is a 59 year old man, and he ran it in a suit and street shoes, in an office. Factor that into the equation and it's impressive stuff indeed.
Yep, the old guys did themselves right proud this week.
