Actually not gibberish at all, although somewhat idiomatic to the game of golf. Let me give it a try (others more knowledgeable jump in):
"soft roll" means the player did not hit the ball too hard and gave the putt a chance to break
"good ball striker" means the player has the ability to hit the ball and make it do what he wants: fade, draw, go the correct distance
"Play one shot at a time": it's very easy when playing golf, especially in a tournament or other competition, to let your mind get ahead of your game. Playing one shot at a time means you are concentrating on the next shot you have to hit, not on what might happen after that, or what score you need to post
"Quiet hands" refers to a players ability around the green to hit excellent chip shots and bunker shots. It refers to the need to not grasp the club too tightly, among other things
"Overcooked it" hit the ball too hard or too much in the wrong direction (such as too much fade or draw)
"Phil" Phil Mickelson is well known for hitting very creative shots that others might not attempt. So when he hits a shot that seems crazy by the standards of other players, he's just being himself.
Hope that helps.
