It’s difficult to imagine anyone handling the past few months worse than Phil Mickelson has … and that includes his performance on the golf course.
Mickelson saw his time at the PGA Tour end when he signed a reported $200 million deal with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf — a move he made despite acknowledging Saudi Arabia’s many human rights atrocities. But since the U.S. Open is a USGA event, Mickelson was at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., to try to compete against the world’s best.
It did not go well for Phil.
