Phil Mickelson Look-Alikes Talk About, Well, Looking Like Lefty

Phil Mickelson was the favorite heading into the PGA Championship probably because he's the world's second-best player (well, before yesterday, anyway), has won two of his three majors at the event, and, really, who else had a better shot?

It wouldn't have surprised me if Lefty won the whole thing, but I also remember thinking that he could just as easily miss the cut. Well, he made it to the weekend, but couldn't make a run, and ended up finishing tied for seventh. All in all, a solid showing, but not really all that exciting, at least if you're CBS and concerned with ratings.

But Crowne Plaza, which has blanketed the airwaves with a Philbert-centric ad campaign, did manage to keep Mickelson's mug on teevee screens even as the network focused on Padraig Harrington and Sergio Garcia. And of all the spots, this is easily the funniest (although, there is something to be said for David Feherty asking Lefty if he won the 2006 U.S. Open):
