Nissan open betting

Phil Mickelson cruised to a win at Pebble Beach but every shot meant something. It's rarely mentioned, but Lefty makes large donations to charity and 'Birdies for the Brave' stood to gain to the tune of $100 per birdie and $500 per eagle.

The money goes to help families who have lost loved ones in combat. After a great few days, there’s $3000 on it's way to BFTB. He also funds the college career of a daughter of an ex-NFL player, Conrad Dobler, who is virtually crippled and trying to look after his quadriplegic wife. Dobler says "if I could get up and down a ladder, I'd paint his house." Can Phil keep the money rolling in at the competitive Nissan Open?
