When I made, a couple days ago, my (likely foolish) prediction of a Phil Mickelson win this week at Doral, I had a plea for Phil: Just don't shoot a first-round 78. Give me some hope, Lefty.

Well done, Phil. A first-round 67, two strokes behind the clubhouse leader, Geoff Ogilvy. Tiger Woods is through 13 as I write this, at 3-under.
