Headlines from Phil Mickelson’s 2013 Open Championship win

In the Internet age, the art of headline writing is a dying one. Clever puns have been replaced by SEO-friendly strings of keywords we're all hopeful the Google algorithm will love, put on the front page of your search and that you'll be lazy enough to click on.

(We're just being real here.)

So, then, we figured it'd be worth writing some headlines that attempt to harken back to when they were written for humans or editors' own edification.
