Was Phil Mickelson's 28 under par for his four rounds at the BellSouth Classic a world record?

No, he was close to setting a record for the most under par and largest win margin.  There are a couple of tournaments that people shot in the -30's, but that was some dang good shootin'

No its "unique" to the Us open, due to the fact its run by the USGA rather than the PGA, plus if you saw, its only a par 70 not a par 72 as most other courses are yet it was exactly the same length as a par 72, just set up to be 2 strokes shorter, hence the fact all the scores were in "over" par!!!

The next mjor is the U.S. Open\n\nHere's some info for you:\n\nWinged Foot Golf Club (West Course) Mamaroneck, N.Y. \nJune 15-18 \nYardage: 7,266 yards \nPar: 35-35 – 70 \nDefending Champion: Michael Campbell \nOpened: 1923 \nDesigner: A.W. Tillinghast \n\nUSGA Championships: No club in the state of New York has hosted more USGA events than Winged Foot -- this will be the 11th. The club has been the site of four previous U.S. Opens and two U.S. Amateurs. It also has had two U.S. Women’s Opens and one U.S. Senior Open. It is the only club to have hosted all three Opens, the U.S. Amateur and Walker Cup. The course will play 11 yards longer than it did for the 2004 U.S. Amateur. \n\nBehind The Name: The club derived its name from a sculpture that stands in the lobby of the New York Athletic Club on Central Park South in Manhattan. A winged foot symbol similar to the club’s is imbedded in the floor. Many early members came from the NYAC. Over the years, it was perceived that Winged Foot and NYAC had a distinct connection, which is not the case. \n\nWhy It’s Right: The course consistently ranks among the best in the country as well as one of the most challenging. \n\nNo Pushover: When the U.S. Open was held here in 1974, the championship was dubbed “The Massacre at Winged Foot” by noted sportswriter/author Dick Schaap because of the brutally tough conditions. Winner Hale Irwin finished at 7-over 287. \n\nThrilling Duel: In the 1929 U.S. Open, Bob Jones nearly blew a six-stroke lead on the back nine, but he holed a difficult 12-foot par putt at the 72nd hole and then defeated Al Espinosa in a 36-hole playoff by 23 strokes. It was written that that championship was the impetus for Jones’ Grand Slam in 1930. \n\nPro Pedigree: Craig Wood, winner of the U.S. Open and Masters in 1941, was the head pro from 1939-45, while two-time U.S. Open runner-up Mike Brady served in that capacity for 15 years. Claude Harmon, the 1948 Masters champion, was the head pro from 1945-78, and some of his staff included 16-time PGA Tour winner Mike Souchak (1953), and 2003 Bobby Jones Award winner Jackie Burke Jr. (1949-50). Burke won the Masters and PGA Championship titles in 1956. Another former staffer was 1965 PGA winner Dave Marr (1954-56). Winged Foot member Dick Mayer went on to win the 1957 U.S. Open following his tutoring under Wood and Harmon. And long-time member Tommy Armour won a U.S. Open (1927), British Open (1931) and PGA (1930). \n\nLegend Of David Mulligan: A familiar golf term was likely borne from this early member of Winged Foot. Mulligan, who became president of New York City’s famous Biltmore Hotel, was known to be a slow starter; his drives off the first tee often went astray. He then would turn to his friends and plead for “another chance.” His colleagues often obliged and through the years, a Mulligan has been synonymous with a ‘do-over.’ President Eisenhower adopted this word into his vocabulary, thus popularizing the term into golfing vernacular. \n\nTillie’s Best: A.W. Tillinghast called the 10th hole on the West Course the finest par 3 he ever constructed. Noted author Dan Jenkins selected the hole for his book: “The Best Eighteen Holes in America.” He quoted Ben Hogan as saying it’s “a 3-iron into someone’s bedroom,” referring to the home of a member behind the green. Jack Nicklaus also included the hole in his choice of “The Most Challenging 18 Holes,” for a 1992 television special on ABC. \n\nQuote/End Quote: “Winged Foot is to golf what Wimbledon is to tennis – what Yankee Stadium is to baseball. Winged Foot is a state of mind.” – Dave Marr, 1965 PGA winner. \n\nFast fact: Winged Foot’s first junior member, Dick Chapman, won the 1940 U.S. Amateur.

Brent:\n\nI thought about this question for literally two hours. There are many factors invloved which effect the answer to this question.\n\n# 1 is the course...it's been redesigned many times over the years. I'm going to assume this magical match is going to take place on today's behemoth of a course. \n\nSince it's taking place on the 2006 version of Firestone CC, which really favors a long hitter who can fade the ball (Hogan) rather than a ball striker such as Nelson. \n\nAlthough match play tends to favor the more consistent player, both of these players have been identified as two of the best ball strikers off all time...neither were said to be fantastic putters, but I recall reading that Hogan would go years without missing a short putt (this was before he got the yips later in his career).\n\nI'm also going to assume that they're going to be using their vintage clubs....which I think would favor Hogan since he was noted to be a great fairway wood and long iron player...which would help at Firestone of today with it's massive length. \n\nAfter figuring all the variables I still believe it would come down to one thing....Hogan always was ticked at Nelson, who grew up in the same caddy yard as young Ben (although a few years older and much bigger) and garnered much of the attention of the members. \n\nThis always left Hogan with a chip on his shoulder against Nelson. I think The Hawk would stare Nelson down and beat him with a birdie on The Monster, 16 at Firestone...3 and 2. \n\nNice question, I enjoyed formulating an answer to it!

Andy North in 1985 was 1 over when he won which was the last time someone finished over par. Hale Irwin was 7 over in 1974 US Open when he won. \n\nLleyton Hewitt wins the Queens tennis title, Aussies push Brazil all the way in the soccer world cup and Geoff Ogilvy wins the US Open golf major. What a day for the Aussies!

No he did not.  The winner was Phil Mickelson - "Mickelson finished at 7-under 281 and won a major for the third consecutive season".

You would have to bet on Phil. He's the best golfer in the world right now(sorry to disappoint all of you Tiger fans) Phil is just playing at a higher level than anyone else right now.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mike Austin, whose 515-yard drive in 1974 stands as the longest ever in a professional golf tournament, died Tuesday, his wife Tanya said. He was 95.\nAustin was 64 years old when he hit the soaring drive in the U.S. National Seniors Open Championship in Las Vegas. With help from a 27-mph tail wind, the ball ran well clear of the green 450 yards away.\nThe record has held up for more than two decades despite advances in ball and driver technology. Austin used a standard persimmon wood club with a steel shaft.\nSecond on the list is a 476-yard drive hit in 2004 by Davis Love III.\nAustin was born in 1910 on Guernsey, one of Britain's Channel Islands, and moved to Los Angeles in 1939. He had a brief career as a professional golfer, but never had the short game to match his distance off the tee.\nHe became one of the area's best-known golf teachers, voted Southern California Golf Professional of the Year in 1984 and named among the top 50 golf instructors in the United States in 1991.\nAustin was left partially paralyzed by a stroke in 1989, but continued to give lessons until about two weeks before his death, his wife said.\nConstance Cummings

it depends on the person.  the odds of me getting a hole in one compared to the odds of tiger woods getting a hole in one are completely different.

Phil Mickelson was born in San Diego, California and raised in Arizona and San Diego. He began playing golf at a very young age and copied his father's right handed swing while standing facing him, thus acquiring a left-handed swing despite being right-handed. He graduated from San Diego's University HS in 1988, then attended Arizona State on a golf scholarship, from which he graduated in 1992. In 1990, he became the first left-hander to win the U.S. Amateur title. By 1991, he had won his first PGA Tour tournament at the Northern Telecom Open as an amateur, becoming the first to do so since Scott Verplank at the 1985 Western Open in Chicago.
