Best On Ground
This week's BOG is actually a Worst On Ground going to Phil Mickelson who was tripped up this week when praising burger franchise Five Guys. He didn't disclose he was an investor in Five Guys he was outed by fellow golfer Stewart Cink via Twitter.

@dougferguson405 keep in mind PM owns SoCal rights to FiveGuys. Biased argument?
