Phil Mickelson Slams USGA CEO Mike Whan Over Rule Change

Phil Mickelson takes a shot during the 2023 LIV Golf Singapore event

Over the past fortnight, a lot has been made of the USGA changing their qualifying criteria for the US Open, which means that LIV golfer Talor Gooch, is currently not in the field for the third Major championship of the season.
