TROON, Scotland -- Phil being Phil, he sometimes cant resist being, well ... Phil.You can argue that Phil Mickelson would not be such a beloved figure in the game were it not for his aggressive style and go-for-broke nature. He once famously declared that hed rather lose going for it than win playing carefully.That was a long time ago, before Mickelson won his first major at the 2004 Masters and before he wrapped his arms, legs and head around the idea that he had to embrace a strategy for links golf rather than fight it.For most of the past decade, that is exactly what he has done at golfs oldest championship, learning to plot his away around the storied old courses that host The Open, using more brains than brawn.But for some reason on Saturday at Royal Troon, Phil couldnt help himself. It wasnt some sort of outlandish departure from his strategy during the first two rounds, but it was enough to cost him a couple of shots and see him fall behind Henrik Stenson heading into the final round.When I tried to play a little bit more aggressive on the downwind holes, I started to get a little jumpy with my swing, Mickelson said after a 1-under-par 70 put him a stroke back of Stenson but five clear of Bill Haas. I started to get a little bit anxious. Thats now how I play my best. Sometimes its better to not be aggressive.Those are seemingly shocking words from Mickelson, but not as it relates to golf at The Open.It was here in 2004 that it finally hit him, that Phil being Phil wasnt going to work on these courses, where hard, bumpy ground is not conducive to aggressive shots, that hitting mile-high moon shots often doesnt work against swirling winds.This was the first course that I really played effectively links golf, Mickelson said. Thats where it really kind of turned for me. This is where it kind of happened. This is where I stopped trying to overpower the golf course, where I kind of accepted playing it as its designed and not trying to find a new, better way to beat the course other than just straightforward golf. Thats probably why I love it so much.And yet Mickelson for some reason reverted, at least a little bit, on Saturday.During the opening-round 63, Mickelson hit 16 greens in regulation. It was nearly flawless, with well-placed shots off the tee, many with irons.Fridays 69 wasnt as strong, but the weather was a big factor. Mickelson hit 13 greens and made a couple of bogeys but still shot under par and held a one-shot advantage over Stenson heading into Saturday.Much of what Mickelson accomplished in getting to that point was due to factors other than just strategy. He worked to take spin off his shots, especially around the greens. He practiced keeping the ball lower to avoid the wind. The great players learn to adjust their ball flight, and after being stubborn about it, Mickelson came to terms with the idea.The results first showed here 12 years ago, when he missed the Todd Hamilton-Ernie Els playoff by a stroke. He finished second to Darren Clarke in 2011 at Royal St. Georges. Two years later, a week after winning the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart, he went to Muirfield and shot a final-round 66 to blow past the field -- including Stenson -- to hoist the Claret Jug.Among his 42 PGA Tour victories and five major championships, that victory is the most surprising -- and perhaps the most special.But Mickelson wasnt in the sentimental mood on Saturday evening. It was a cold, blustery day in Troon, and it wasnt getting any warmer as he chatted with the media before heading to the practice range.Things werent quite right with his swing, and he was determined to get it fixed with his instructor, Andrew Getson.I was off today; I didnt have my best stuff, he said. My rhythm was a little quick from the top as we started downwind. I was a little bit jumpy.Some of that might be attributed to the position he found himself. Playing alongside Stenson, a long hitter and excellent ball striker, can do that too. But he didnt help himself with some of his course management, conceding that he got away from his game plan on the front-side par-5s, unable to make the birdies he coveted.It potentially cost me a couple of shots, Mickelson said. It was a day I tried to force it a little bit.Mickelson did a good job of staying in the game, recovering from some of his mishaps and making just two bogeys. When he birdied the par-5 16th, he had a one-shot lead on Stenson, but then he gave it back with a poor approach that he said was the result of an awful swing. Stenson birdied the hole, which is the difference for now.Nonetheless, a sixth major is within his grasp, and its one that would tie him with Nick Faldo and Lee Trevino -- only 11 players have won more in history -- and also make Mickelson the fourth-oldest major champion at age 46. Stenson is a formidable foe and showed it down the stretch Saturday, playing the last 10 holes in some difficult conditions in even par.But Stenson, 40, has never won a major, and there is inherent pressure in that too. He had never before held the 54-hole lead in a major. And there is also that matter of becoming Swedens first male major champion.For Mickelson, it seems more about overcoming himself, about finding the form he had the first two days here and getting back to the mantra that carried him to victory at Muirfield three years ago -- his last win.I know its not far off, because I was hitting it so good, he said. Ive been hitting it so good for so long that I just think one day is an anomaly and hopefully Ill get dialed back in tomorrow.Now thats Phil being Phil.Air Max 270 Homme Soldes .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA.
