re: Phil Mickelson will arrive in Philadelphia at 4:30 AM ET tomorrow; tees off 7:11

Phil played a couple of rounds at Merion prior to this week. If he shoots E tomorrow he will get credit for being a wonderful father (which he is) and a championship contender. If he shoots 75, he's a knucklehead and the critics will have a field day. I hope he shoots 70.

It really isn't that strange. I'd be willing to bet if he were in a hotel in Philly, he'd go to bed around 10 or 11 and wake up at 4:30 for his round.
Sounds like he's basically doing that...just on a Gulfstream.

Yeah, a narrative is going to get pushed either way but it really isn't a big deal. People are making the (partial) mistake of equating it with the toll that doing this would do to "normal" people.
The day to day life of being Phil Mickelson is probably pretty chill so I'm sure he was able to squeeze in a two or three hour nap today if he wanted, then when he walks directly onto his private jet, he'll go into the aft bedroom and sleep in a (relatively) nice bed for the five hour flight over then walk directly to a waiting private car after taking a nice hot shower in the executive lounge and go play his game. And since he starts first, he finishes first and it's back to the nice hotel!
Is it better than sleeping in his own bed at home? No. But it's not as grueling and crazy as it is being implied.
