Where'd Phil Go?

Philly Mick showed up at the Hope yesterday appearing much more physically fit than in recent years. Nothing to get excited about, as this tends to be his MO. He tends to drop a few pounds in the winter and gains it all back as the year progresses. But one will have to admit, he does seem to be much more fit than in recent years. He may well have dropped 30 or more pounds and, according to him anyways, he's been pumping a little iron as well. One would hope he has latched onto a plan that will allow him to keep it up through the home stretch, but time will tell.

Unfortunately for him, the new fitness didn't seem to translate to lower scores. But it is only his first tournament of the year, and again, time will tell.
