In its sporadic forays onto the golf course, the hardworking staff at Campaign Outsider has long desired to shoot its IQ, although we can never quite get that low.

Regardless, the hardworking staff religiously watches the golfing majors, and it was with great relish that we saw Phil Mickelson win the Masters Sunday night.

Headline in the San Jose Mercury News:

Masters win cements Phil Mickelson’s place in this era alongside Tiger Woods

That can’t be good news to consolation-prize winner Tiger Woods, who was decidedly not happy with his fourth-place finish.

The Mercury News piece asks, “With three or four years left in his prime, is Mickelson finally ready to beat Woods head-to-head over a full season of majors?”

Better question: Is Tiger Woods ready for that?
