Prodigal Sons Eagle Par Birdie

John Mallinger: Nationwide Grad "All the people, they'd step back/ When a young man walked by": The Who Phil Mickelson certainly made Pebble Beach look like a municipal course on Sunday. His fans are sure glad he's back, slimmed down and looking about 20 pounds lighter than last season. And good on him. But once again, it was the Nationwide Tour that deserves to take a bow.
