Phil To Scribes: “Didn’t you guys see my video?”
/Rex Hoggard on Phil Mickelson's deadpan jab at Tiger's social media experiment in lieu of a press room visit.
Phil Mickelson is not one to ever miss the subtly of the moment, so when he entered the Quail Hollow press room Wednesday afternoon he deadpanned, “Didn’t you guys see my video?”
It was classic Lefty and a not-so-subtle jab at Tiger Woods, who skipped this week’s pre-tournament news conference at the Wells Fargo Championship and instead posted a video on his website answering questions he’d received from fans via social media.
Steve Elling noted that Hunter Mahan also piled on, telling the scribes: "I was going to announce that I am doing this only on webcasts from now on."
As expected, Tiger took a pass on talking to the press according to Golf Channel, but Bob Harig reports that Sean Foley is ecstatic with Woods' ball-striking.
