He dismissed arguments from some council members that the city’s $212-million deficit ?” and a $485-million shortfall forecast for 2010-11 ?” could be addressed without sending out pink slips.

Phil Mickelson On Cheating Accusation: ‘I Was Slandered’

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

SAN DIEGO — Phil Mickelson hinted at legal action Saturday for being accused of “cheating,” saying that if the PGA Tour did not do something about him being “publicly slandered,” then he would let others handle it. Mickelson didn’t mention Scott McCarron by name in a series of interviews after his third round at Torrey Pines. McCarron was quoted in The San Francisco Chronicle on Friday as saying about Mickelson using the Ping-Eye 2 wedges with square grooves, “It’s cheating, and I’m appalled Phil has put it in play.” The USGA has a new rule this year that irons have V-shaped grooves
