Good Gosh, I coughed up the big one

Mickelson's Mastercard Moment:

Weeks of strategy with his entourage (Rick Smith, Jim McKay, Dave Pelz, Winged Foot Pro Tom Nieporte, etc) at Winged Foot prior to the US Open: $150,000

A one stroke lead with one hole to play: Pretty priceless.

Slicing your drive on the 72nd hole off the hospitality tent and the chopping and hacking around till you puke all over yourself: priceless.

There are some things millions and millions of dollars can buy you, the US Open is not one of them.

• Tiger finally smiled this week
• Phil reminds us how hard golf is even for the very best that play the
  game.
• Ogilvy won with gutsy pars coming in, including that chip in on 17.
• Furyk, Monty, Lefty, Padrig and the boys had their chances, but Ogilvy did
  what had to be done to hoist the hardware.
