After watching 2 days of Jim Huber on TNT's opening rounds of coverage I'm convinced that the man can spin just about anything into an eloquent and narrative description.

"And so we leave you here at Baltusrol with yet another majors title for Phil Mickelson. The tension and drama overwhelmed these last four calendar days so much so that mother nature felt it was only fitting to give the fans a bonus 5th day to enjoy and who are we to argue with her pleas. We would be remised if we didn't offer a final gift of gratitude to the bottled water that help replenish the competitive energy of all those golfers who battled through the humidity that New Jersey offered up as an added test of each golfer's mettle."

As it always seems to be when he plays in the New York area, Phil Mickelson received complete adoration from the fans. New York's love affair with Phil is just one of those unexplainable phenomenons. What is it about Phil that causes the New York/New Jersey crowds to go so crazy? Is it that sheepish grin that he wears around all the time that looks like he just got laid? Or is it that he was a lovable loser for so long? Is it because he's an alternative for all those Tiger haters? Or is it his ability to wear the wet T-Shirt contest look so well? In any case I'm sure the support of the crowd was a factor in Phil winning his second big tournament.

While Phil Mickelson was hands down the people's champ, former British Open Champion winner and one-trick pony Ben Curtis opted to go for the cheap pop from the crowd by wearing New York Giants and New York Jets apparel through all four rounds. How pathetic of an attempt to get fans on your side is this? Curtis' attempt to win the fans came across as more insincere than Jay Leno's patting of a Tonight Show guest's back before a commercial break.

Is there anything harder to stomach than watching Vijay putt? His putting has to rank somewhere between a gruesome ankle injury and a Julia Roberts romantic comedy as things that are hard to watch. Would it surprise anyone to catch Vijay at a mini-putt a la Happy Gilmore in an attempt to learn how to "tap it in"?

The heat was a persistent factor in the tournament all week as temperatures hovered above the 100-degree mark. Unfortunately with heat comes sweat and to paint a picture - some of the PGA's finest aren't exactly conditioned specimens. At one point I was expecting John Madden to jump in the booth and do his grotesque pointing out of "sweat stains" with the telestrator. Thankfully that didn't happen. I shutter to think what he would have pointed out about John Daly.

When it comes to Tiger, networks must be constantly in debate over how much footage should be shown of a golfer who looks like he has no shot at winning. But as evidenced by his incredible leap from 112th position after the first round to a tie for fourth at the end anything is possible by Tiger. Next to the TV networks and Tiger himself Nike had to have been the most relieved to see Tiger make the cut for the weekend. According to an ESPN report from Darren Rovell, Nike selects Tiger's golf shirts well in advance for his majors appearances. Nike then releases the shirts to the public shortly after Tiger's runway on the fairway.

The PGA Championship at Baltusrol proved to be an interesting challenge with its two 500-yd Par 4s and its double Par 5 finish including the 17th hole, which measured in over 650yds. In the end the course seemed to win out, with the winner being declared as the player who made the least amount of poor shots. Oh one more thing I'll take away from this tournament - it's becoming increasingly harder to listen to Gary McCord and David Feherty with a straight face anymore after hearing them on the Tiger Woods video game so much .
