These charity meetings often offer a spectacle and some crisp dialogue between the players. The commentator of the day was none other than Lefty aka Phil Mickelson. The American left-hander, recently winner of his sixth title in major, was as close as possible to the two players and did not miss the opportunity to send a few spades.
