Will Inconsistency Continue to Plague Phil Mickelson in 2013?

Phil Mickelson continues to carry the hopes of golf fans who love to see him compete on the tour.

From time to time, Mickelson will put it altogether and give his fans a thrill.

Earlier this month, Mickelson played sensationally in the Phoenix Open. He started the tournament by firing a 60, and he never let down. He followed with 65, 64 and 67. The final totals gave Mickelson a 28-under total of 256 and gave him an easy victory that added $1,116,000 to his bank account.

But Mickelson's showing early in the 2013 season has been indicative of the way he has played all too often throughout his career. Specifically, Mickelson had a brilliant 2009 season that included three PGA Tour victories. Since that season, Mickelson has not had any more than one victory in any season.

If he continues on that path in 2013, Mickelson will not find the winner's circle at any point during the remainder of the season.

That would not be surprising based on his recent history.

Not only has Mickelson had a hard time playing consistently over the course of a golf season, he often has trouble stringing shots together within a tournament or sometimes within a round.

Mickelson often says he feels good about his game or his play with his driver, for example, or his irons, but some shots will get away from him.

When Mickelson missed the cut at last summer's Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia, he said he was perplexed by how his game got away from him.

"It doesn't feel bad off the tee. It doesn't feel bad with the iron play," Mickelson told ESPN.com.  "It doesn't feel bad chipping or putting, but I'm making some loose drives here or there, some loose irons shots here or there, missing some short putts here or there, and just haven't been putting it all together.''



The key word in Mickelson's description is "loose," and it is something that all golfers understand.
