SEASON IN REVIEW: The season began with tremendous promise as Mickelson, playing with Tiger Woods, fired a final-round 64 to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, the 40th victory in his PGA TOUR career. He nearly made it two in a row, losing in a playoff the following week at Riviera. Two months later, his bid to win a fourth Green Jacket was derailed by a triple bogey on the fourth hole Sunday at Augusta National. Mickelson only had one more top-10 until the Playoffs where he tied for fourth and second in successive weeks to vault into the FedExCup top five. -- Helen Ross

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at Mickelson:
I think Phil plays best when his mind is occupied. He is totally engaged right now thanks to the "paint brush," his modified claw grip while putting. Mickelson has won at East Lake before and would be a good pick next week.
