Phil Mickelson won the major championship few thought he ever would on Sunday. Now all he lacks is the title he most covets to complete a rare career Grand Slam. In one of the shining moments of his stellar career, Mickelson birdied four of the final six holes Sunday at Muirfield to win his first career British Open.

I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! That big smile Phil Mickelson flashed at Muirfield after he knew he had won the Open Championship was really his best imitation of Jack Nicholson in The Shining, a show of gleeful and maybe a bit sinister exuberance as he returned to prominence. “Don’t be so quick to count me out,” he might have said as he clutched the claret jug in celebration. He...
