The Magic In The Bag Of Phil Mickelson
There is some important point in the bag of Phil Mickelson, the winner of Tour Championship. Since a lot of golfers on the PGA Tour use custom-made clubs, but Phil Mickelson’s 18° Callaway hybrid is truly unique.
When asked about it in June prior to the start of the U.S. Open at Bethpage, he said, “This is a special club I actually made, taking the back part of the hybrid out so that I can open it way up and get through that thick rough.”
No other player on Tour has one, although a few Callaway staff players have tried one at the company’s headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif.
But don’t hold your breathe hoping that Callaway is going to make a version of the club available anytime soon. Justin Timberlake, who is a paid member of the Callaway Golf staff, also tried a Mickelson-spec hybrid at the company’s test center and loved it. After asking Callaway representatives if he could have it, he was politely told no.
Hey, if a guy who has dated Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz can’t score one …
