Mickelson Drained by Back-Breaking Schedule

I've grown to like Phil Mickelson more and more over the years, in large part due to his candor. But Lefty may have been a bit too honest in explaining his withdrawal from the Memorial after a first-round 79.

"I think mentally I'm a little fatigued," he said, and I have no problem with that. It's how Phil became so wrung out that's a little tough for us average Joes to relate to.

The Memorial was Mickelson's fourth tournament in a five-week stretch, which is punishing enough in itself, right? On top of that, Phil spent the off week touring France and Italy to celebrate wife Amy's 40th birthday.

We should all be so worn out.
