The 2013 British Open tees off on Thursday at Muirfield in Scotland, as some of the top golfers on the globe vie for the renowned Claret Jug.

Phil Mickelson (16/1)

In fact, overall, the 43-year-old from San Diego has had a splendid year, posting a combined six top-three finishes and two victories on the PGA Tour and European Tour, which includes a second-place finish at the U.S. Open at Merion.

But despite all of Mickelson's success this year, I can't get over his history at the British Open (call me a historian, if you will). In 19 career appearances at the British Open, "Lefty" has notched just two top-10 finishes. That includes missing the cut last...
