Mickelson responds to comments from Tiger's caddie

| | Comments (0) |

Tiger Woods' caddie, Stevie Williams, made the kind of headlines Woods despises. Speaking about Phil Mickelson, he told New Zealand newspapers: ``I wouldn't call (Phil) Mickelson a great player because I hate the p----.''
Mickelson's representative issued a statement on Sunday that read: "After seeing Steve Williams' comments all I could think of was how lucky I am to have a class act like Bones on my bag and representing me."
Williams also told a story about a fan heckling Mickelson at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, but Mickelson's representatives said the heckling incident happened at the U.S. Open in 2002 and invovled a European player, not him.
Let the games begin!
