If Phil Mickelson were an author, he'd most likely be Stephen King.

Mystery, suspense, strange twists and turns are all important parts of each man's existence, and Mickelson showed that once again Sunday afternoon.

In the soggy final round of the Wells Fargo Championship, Mickelson showed us why it's so difficult to peg him as a contender in this week's Players Championship or as just another guy who once was a constant threat but who is now just a pretender.

Hardly Mickelson-like results, even though he's earned over $2 million.

His downfall this week was Quail Hollow's Green Mile, the fina...
