Mickelson wins PGA at 50, Paris in the Summer, & Curious UFO Sightings
Listen now
Description
Phil Mickelson shocked the golf world this past weekend coming out of no where to win the 103rd playing of the PGA Championships. The five time major champ had pretty much been written off as a serious contender on the regular tour, even though he had shown early success on the senior tour, winning 2 tourneys already. So that makes Phils improbable win at the windswept Ocean Course at Kiawah Island even that much more gratifying to watch. With so much talk about the younger generation taking over and 400 yard drives Phil won one for the older crew and boy was it fun to watch. Also cashing at a ridiculous 290-1 odds in Vegas. Jimmy talks about how he could relate a little with Phil in comparing it to his 1991 US Open run to the SFs in Flushing Meadows, NY. Overall a top live event to have watched on the couch at home, now we just wait for Tiger to come back and have his Ben Hogan moment to try and one up Phil! Jimmy reminisces about spending time in one of his favorite cities in the world, Paris. While he didn't always see eye to eye with the French tennis federation, he always loved playing in front of the fans in Paris and spending time as well.  With all the mainstream talk recently of UFO's, it was time for it to make it on an episode of AC.  One of Jimmy's favorite shows is Ancient Aliens, so this should be good. The timing of it seems a bit odd though, for so long you were a tin hat wearing looney if you believed in flying saucers, but now you turn on the television and Barack Obama is talking about it as if it's any other topic.  Why the sudden in change in main stream coverage?
