Per Mickelson's gambling, this is a favorite story, from "Phil": "When I was in the tower,” says former CBS announcer Gary McCord, “every time Phil got to my hole, Bones would look up at me and I would flash the odds. If Phil had a fifteen-footer, I’d flash three fingers, which meant the odds were three-to-one. If he was sixty feet, I’d give him two-to-one on a two-putt. Bones would go down and whisper in his ear and Phil would look up at me and shake his head yes or no. I can’t tell you how many wadded-up twenties I threw out of the tower, until the Tour found about it and I got word through CBS I was no longer allowed to gamble with Phil while up in the tower.”
