The Big Easy Talks About Phil’s 63

We’ve all probably watched Phil’s 62 lip out over and over again. But here it is again, just because.

So painful.

Then there’s his caddie, Bones’, reaction to the missed putt.

Whether of not you’re a huge Phil Mickelson fan, you couldn’t help but hope to see history. And that included his playing partners, especially The Big Easy, Ernie Els.

“We chatted about it on 18 when we came down the fairway,” Els said. “I said, ‘C’mon, buddy. You’ve got to make this putt for 62. Other guys have tried, and he said, ‘Absolutely.'”

When the trio got to the green, Els, even though he was closer, offered to putt first, just so Phil would have the spotlight all to himself.

“I said, ‘Let me go. You take your time.’ And he said, ‘You sure? You sure?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, make some history today.'”

You’re one of the good ones, Big Easy.
