Spaniard Alvaro Quiros Amuses Woods and Harrington in First Round

One of the enjoyable parts of media access at events like the PGA Championship is the insight you gain while sitting in player news conferences.  Today, Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington commented on a light moment on the course during the opening round of the 91st PGA.

Phil Mickelson “I’m fresh. I’m ready to go.”

Phil Mickelson says he’s there’s a sense of relief knowing the long term prognosis is favorable for his wife and mother, both who have been battling breast cancer. With that he proclaimed himself fresh and said, “I’m ready to go” during today’s news conference.  Not to say that their health is not an ongoing concern for Mickelson, but he says he feels better about his game heading into the PGA Championship than he did going into the U.S. Open.
