Mickelson poised for weekend run/Daly says he's done

The PGA Tour's golden boy didn't take long to shake off some winter rust. Phil Mickelson shot a 5-under 67 today on the South Course at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, site of the Farmers' Insurance Open. He is only four strokes off the lead heading into the weekend with a two day total of 7-under.

D.A. Points and Ryuji Imada share the lead at 11-under. Matt Every, who most will recognize from the Big Break series on the Golf Channel is T3 at 9-under.

The most shocking news of the day however came from the mouth of John Daly. In a post round interview with the Golf Channel after Daly missed the cut with rounds of 79-71, said on camera that he's "done." "I just can't do it anymore," Daly continued. "I can't keep taking spots from guys out here playing this bad." Daly retiring? That would be a shock. I mean he's been suspended, came back, lost his card, came back, suspended again, came back, now retirement. What a roller coaster career from someone that many say, including me, has the most natural talent of anyone in golf. Stay posted in days to come as this story unfolds.

Cheers, and John we love ya...
