Both players grew up playing Torry Pines. Both players have won on the course that is the site for this years US Open. But can Phil Mickelson actually beat Tiger Woods on this course, or on any other for that matter? If Phil CAN he certainly hasn’t shown that he can on a REGULAR basis. But then again NO ONE else either!
Can Phil Beat Tiger
Tiger Woods Mental Toughness

Tiger Woods undoubtedly has the strongest mental toughness in golf.
This was instilled in him at an early age by his father Earl. Earl would stand behind him and drop clubs, cough, make noises just as Tiger was starting his downswing all to prepare him for distractions that would arise from playing tournament golf.
You can see it today in Tiger’s game. Who else can stop their swing in the start down like Tiger, give that offender that icy stare and then get up and hammer the golf ball!

Just as Gene Wilder played the eccentric chocolate magnet, Willie Wonka, golf is also a game of eccentricities, doors that lead nowhere, and secrets that may never be unlocked.
“Golf is a game played stupidly by intelligent people.”
