Just a note that I don't ever want to forget-- Fathers Day Weekend 2009
Phil Mickelson is in the fight of his life! Playing in the US Open at Bethpage Black on Long Island New York! His wife Amy is to begin treatment for cancer in the first week of July! The first Major in which she has not been there with the 3 of there children.
The golf was so intense, and Philly was the only player in the field to have 4 rounds at Par or under and for the 5th time, (a dubious record) he came in second.
Although it was not a choke to come in second it actally was the most valiant effort of his phenomenal career!
The ability to play so well with so many distractions shows, he may not be Tiger, but he is with out question, hands down the second best golfer of his generation, and a fantastic gentleman for the game.
He and his caddie rented a house in the area of Bethpage State Park for the week, and each evening after a grueling day on the course, with weather delays and 5 days of golf, Philly signed autographs for the neighborhood that lined up in his front yard! Needless to say as all the golfers left the golf course on Monday, Philly stayed and signed and signed and signed autographs! Then he was able to jump in his car and get off to be with Amy to begin the fight of their lives, yes they have all of the financial resources to be successful. Although Philly you and amy will be in our prayers that you would acknowledge and appreciate God's hand in this and end up cancer free. Then over fathers day weekend next year, may you please win your first US Open--thanks PHilly God Bless you and your family
You might not think this has anything to do with our family... but sports is Todd's world. You probably won't hear any sports references from me. But in order to know our family, you will have to know that it wouldn't be complete without Todd's sports updates.
