CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Phil Mickelson’s late arrival to Quail Hollow Club followed by his struggles during the first round of the PGA Championship led to plenty of social media conjecture about his preparation for the tournament.
But a member of Mickelson’s management team said the six-time major champion came to Quail Hollow to practice for a couple of days last week and opted to practice elsewhere due to the poor weather conditions in the area leading up to the tournament.
