Mickelson in Top Form

Phil Mickelson won for the second time this year, but was far more impressive this week, as he showed much more consistency and some grit in holding off Nick Watney to win the CA Championship. With just three weeks until The Masters, Mickelson has to be viewed as one of the big favorites. I still think he needs to drive the ball straighter, to give himself the right approaches into the greens at Augusta. Remember, he chipped in four times this week, and won by just one shot.

Tiger Woods appears to be rounding into form quite nicely. He finished the week 12th in greens in regulation, but clearly was frustrated with his putting. Last year, it was the putter that cost him at Augusta, where he finished second. If he starts holing 20 footers with any regularity, watch out.
