great grid

Great work - I really enjoyed this one! A couple notes:
- "Mancala" is typically only spelled with one L.
- It could be argued that "country singers" is a valid alternative answer for Swift/Collins/Taylor/McGraw. When I saw those names, I immediately thought of Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, and James Taylor (who is technically more folk than country, but he's hit the country charts a couple times). I didn't know of a country singer named Collins, but I looked it up and there are a few (Tommy Collins seems like the best-known of these, but perhaps still too obscure for a Puzzgrid). Now that I know what the intended answer is, I agree that Phils are the stronger connection. All four Phils are definitely notable (although darts doesn't make its way into the USA enough for me to know any players). I guess it's just a risk that comes with having surnames as clues.
