The matchup of David versus Goliath was unmistakable during the third round of the Shell Houston Open.
In one corner stood Phil Mickelson – living legend, fan favorite, and after rounds of 66-67 at the Golf Club of Houston, the betting favorite to lift the trophy. Much of the crowd that showed up that day in Humble, Texas (remember, you don't dare pronounce that H) were eager to spur Mickelson toward his first win in nearly two years.
In the other corner stood Austin Cook. Who?
Fresh off his 24th birthday, Cook had nearly no status on any major tour.
