Phil Mickelson used to get shredded by the media and golf fans about his portly appearance β now he is shredded.
The five-time major winner affectionately known as Lefty used to be one of the larger players on tour, prompting one scribe to write this about Mickelson in 2009.
"One of the reasons I love to watch athletes is that besides their talents, they are awesome physical specimens to behold. Even though Phil Mickelson seems to be a nice guy and a pretty good golfer who can eke out a win when Tiger's home with the family rehabbing his knee. He has got man boobs," the scribe wrote.
"Mickelson is not even really fat. He just suffers from male pattern boobness. Guybags. Senor snubes. Mister Titster. He-man Hooters. Boyzoombas. Cock 'n Knockers. Mancans. Chesticles with Testicles. Papa Tatas. Mickelson Mogambos.
"Now as snarky as this sounds, I am not even saying his daddy dumplings turn me off. I am just saying that when Mickelson strides down the fairway, he looks like a breasty shift manager at the local Best Buy who cannot say 'no' to doughnuts in the break room, not a kick ass world class athlete."
