Monday Scramble: Big break, gimme a break

Phil Mickelson undergoes surgery, Rod Pampling beats the odds, Danny Willett needs a break, yelling "Fore!" apparently isn't cool and more in this week's edition of Monday Scramble:

He was 47. His world ranking was north of 450. He hadn’t won in a decade.

In the last three years, he had spent two seasons on the Web.com Tour, competing against fearless 20-somethings who are destined to disrupt the PGA Tour, and then needed to go through the four-event Finals this fall just to earn his card.
