Someone Tell Phil Mickelson About the Krispy Kreme in San Diego

After the world melted at the sight of the loving embrace between newly-crowned Masters winner Phil Mickelson and his wife Amy, our food-obsessed country goo-gooed some more when a lady at the Krispy Kreme donuts drive-thru in Augusta, GA, snapped a photo of Mickelson coming through to pick up some piping hot treats with his kids and donning his green jacket.

Mickelson was asked about that drive thru experience today at his press conference before the Quail Hollow Championship.  Lefty offered this explanation of the trip.

"[T]hroughout the week I don't eat a lot of sugar or carbs or what have you, and my kids wanted doughnuts, and I said Monday morning we'll go to Krispy Kreme and grab some. We used to do that in San Diego on football Sunday; we'd go grab some doughnuts Sunday before the games. But Krispy Kreme went out of business in San Diego. We don't have them over there anymore. That was their big thing. They wanted to go Monday morning, so I promised them Monday morning we would. It was a little chilly, so I threw on a jacket (laughter) and went through the drive-thru."

Aside from the fact that Steve Williams probably made a crack in the locker room about the carbs part, Mickelson says that there are no Krispy Kremes in San Diego.  Inaccurate!

There's one at 4180 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego, CA 92117.  But, if that's not close enough to Mickelson's house, he can always franchise one out closer to him.  After all, Mickelson was close to being a part of a group to purchase some 140 Waffle Houses (instead of buying into the San Diego Padres).

He just has to answer these simple questions, according to the nice folks at Krispy Kreme.

• Your name, address and telephone number. Philip Alfred Mickelson, 123 Fake St., 1-800-GRNJACK
  
• A brief summary of your background and experience. I'm a professional golfer, serial dieter, four time major champion, and lover of fast, friendly breakfast delicacies.
  
• What city or location within the US are you most interested in? San Diego! My God!
  
• Any other information you would like for us to know about you and/or your interest in Krispy Kreme.  Yeah, I had to win the damn Masters to get some KK donuts.  That's ridiculous.  Your main color is green - my favorite!  Can I have the donuts now?
