The Shell Houston Open was scheduled to be played the week before this year's Masters, but a schedule change moved it up a week. This plan change adversely afflicted Mickelson's planning for the Masters, in accordance with Rex Hoggard of GolfChannel.com:AaI only wasnat as mentally sharp when I had a need to be,a Mickelson said. aI need to find yet another way to prepare for major days easily canat play the week before.a People are creatures of habit. They get yourself a routine that works for them and stick to it until it does not work any longer. Even though it stops working, its an emotional battle to come up with an alternative game plan. You can find not many people on the PGA Tour who have had as much constant success at Augusta National as Mickelson. His track record of being in rivalry year in and year out at the Masters is almost as impressive as what Tiger Woods has been doing through the duration of career. Make no mistake about it: Mickelson will discover a way to come back and play well at the 2014 Masters, and there is an excellent chance before he is done another green jacket will be won by him.
