AUGUSTA, Ga. – The highlight of Tuesday’s Champions Dinner at the Masters is the storytelling, and Phil Mickelson offered a glimpse into how lively some of those stories can be.
At Adam Scott’s dinner in 2014, he went with an Australian-themed meal that included “Moreton Bay Bugs,” a type of Australian lobster, and a meringue-based desert called pavlova.
“Now, you can't Google this stuff because there's no cell phones allowed, right,” Mickelson explained. “I said, ‘Oh, pavlova, that's inspired by the great Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who was touring through New Zealand, Australia, and an Australian chef so inspired by her beautiful movement and tutu, he made a dessert after her.
