Phil Mickelson missed the cut at the US Open. After a first day in which he finished with eight shots above par, in the second he could not beat the field either. He signed off with a +11.
The American player, one of those who has taken the step of playing LIV Golf, alternative circuit to the PGA Tour financed with the Saudi Arabian petrodrolares, did not have its best day to the point that i thought i hit a bystander with his ball after the tee shot at hole 3.
Mickelson reached the place where he had hit the ball. found a amateur sitting on the ground with an ice pack on his head. He had been treated by doctors after receiving a ball. The first thing he did was apologize and give her one of the gloves he plays with, but they immediately told him it wasn’t him. The impact came from the sixth hole and a shot from Sam Horsfield.
“It’s just instinct. Normally I would think it was me,” Mickelson said. to those present after learning that he had not been ‘guilty’ of what happened.
