LaFun’s and my grandfather hated him before it was cool

Our dad’s dad, whom otherwise I never heard curse worse than “damn”, didn’t like Mickelson’s “shit eating grin.”

For the longest time, we thought this was hilarious. How can you not like Phil? Especially after the Payne Stewart “you’re going to be a great dad” US Open comment.

Clearly, Grampie knew what he was talking about.
