Will Phil make a difference?

Phil Mickelson makes his 2010 debut on the PGA TOUR this morning at 9:00AM in San Diego, California.    He's in the field of the Farmer's Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.  The 2010 season is just 4 weeks old but it's craving for some star power.
This week used to be reserved for the much anticipated start of Tiger Wood's season.  However we all know where thats gone.  So, here you go Phil.  It's your stage.  Mickelson has an incredible opportunity to take center stage of this tour.  The deck couldn't be stacked more in his favor.  He's well rested, playing in his backyard, on a course where he's won in the past.  He doesn't have to worry about Tiger breathing down his back.  Is this a perfect opportunity to build momentum or does Phil apply too much pressure on himself to do too much too soon?
The answer to that question is entirely up to Phil.  Pressure is self imposed.  Depending on how Phil views this scenario will determine whether he has a monster year, which several of experts are predicting, or gets in his own way.

For the sake of the tour I'm hoping Phil steps it up and has the monster year.  Time will tell.  Phil, it's your stage.
