We are about an hour and half from the final tee time at Riviera for the Northern Trust Open, one featuring Phil Mickelson and the silky-swinging Fred Couples.Mickelson (-16), who credits his third-round 62 to some serious swing help from Butch Harmon on the rage Saturday morning, leads the field by four and would potentially need to break every club in his bag to blow it this afternoon. After all, he is the defending champion at the event and Harmon is sticking around for good measure. From PGATour.com:
"Swing doctor Butch Harmon said he saw trouble with too much movement in Phil's lower body during Friday's 72, so when Phil called from the scorer's tent and the two met for a Saturday morning tutorial, Harmon knew exactly what to work on. But 10 shots better? Just to be safe, Butch is hanging around for today's final round."
Let us not forget Andres Romero, sitting at -12, who has played poorly early this season but has been the most consistent this week. He carded rounds of 65, 70, and 66 to put himself in position to contend for today's final round.
For non-Tiger fans, enjoy a relaxing Sunday in front of the television with plenty of Phil, Fred, and Andres. Come Wednesday, the golfing world will become Tiger's personal Truman Show all over again.
