One name dominated the PGA Championship on Friday: Phil!

It’s a word that popped up for real in the midday of Friday, a word that, like Rihanna, Madonna or Charo, requires no elaboration around tee boxes and flagsticks. At age almost-51, Phil — Mickelson, if we must — has been keeping it straight in front of him and elongating his focus, excelling at focus-elongation. “I’m just making more and more progress just by trying to elongate my focus,” he said.
