Air Mickelson
As the Nissan Open began Thursday, the press was abuzz about Phil Mickelson's decision to commute from the San Diego area by private jet each day so he could spend nights with his family. Would it help his golf? Would it distract him? The funny thing is that by Saturday, when Mickelson did a post-round press conference, reporters weren't even asking him about the commute anymore. Maybe it feels normal already. You know, if Mickelson (66-65-69 the first three rounds) wins the Nissan, he might inspire a trend. Everybody making $47 million a year is going to start flying back and forth during tournaments.
