Phil Mickelson has announced that after he is done with the US Open he will be taking a break for "a little while" to be with his wife. I think this is a smart move for him. Family comes first.

Isn't this his 2nd announcement that he was taking a break to be with his wife? He's already won major championships, so why isn't he home right now?

Because according to his web site,when they first anounced to the public,they thought they would have surgery in just a couple of weeks,when the surgery was postponed Amy said she wanted Phil to play in the US Open,and he always plays the week before a major thats why he was in Memphis this past week.
