The same outspoken nature that made Phil Mickelson the (self proclaimed) Player Impact Program winner has him in boiling hot water. The fallout has been swift and in the wake of a lengthy statement from the World Golf Hall of Famer, his longtime sponsor KPMG ended the relationship. Lefty won't find much support from his peers either as Rory McIlroy called his comments "selfish and ignorant" and Brooks Koepka said everyone on the PGA Tour is happy, except Phil

For as bad a week as Mickelson is having, Rick Lamb is having a great one. He beat the odds to survive a 16 for 1 playoff Tuesday morning to lock up the final spot in this week's Honda Classic. 

There is simply never a good time for a 3-putt which means a 4-putt is an even more unwelcome occurrence. Unfortunately, one Korn Ferry Tour professional coughed up a chance to secure his PGA Tour card in one of the most painful ways imaginable, with a 4-putt on the 72nd hole. 

All of this, plus Collin Morikawa's comical tee box mis-step at Riviera are packed into this week's episode of Up and Down.
