McEvoy comes out swinging at Phil and co

A FEW readers didn’t like my description of Phil Mickelson as “syrupy” after his recent victory in the Masters at Augusta.

That is perfectly understandable given Lefty's friendly disposition on and off the golf course and his delightful family. I'm just one of many who feels he carries the persona a little too far at times.

Former great English amateur golfer Peter McEvoy has just published his memoirs, For Love or Money (Harper Sport, £15.99), and pulls no punches where his views on the game's greatest left hander and also world number one Tiger Woods are concerned.
