Phil Mickelson decided to change things up a bit and choke during a major at the beginning instead of in the closing rounds. It was his hope that he could open up the Masters with a +4 opening round and then relieve any pressure on himself the rest of the weekend. This would enable him to sneak in to the leader's slot much like he sneaks into his pantry each night for a snack which, judging by his weight, has been a very successful strategy for him.
