LOS ANGELES – Golf is cruel.
The U.S. Open will continue without Jordan Spieth, who made two bogeys in his last three holes to miss the cut on the number, and his pal Justin Thomas, who shot 81 on Friday, his second-highest round of his career. It was Phil Mickelson’s 53rd birthday — golf doesn’t care. You’re a SoCal native, Max Homa? Too bad. No matter who you are, it still hurts to pack your bags and hit the road on cut day.
