Shane Lowry will tee off with six-time major winner Phil Mickelson and Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa at the US Open on Thursday.
Mickelson rolled into Brookline mired in controversy and banned from the PGA Tour, where he collected 45 wins in a career that has spanned more than three decades, after signing on to play with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series.
The group will tee off at 5.47pm Irish time on Thursday, with Mickelson avoided a grouping with one of his most vocal critics on the tour, four-times major winner Rory McIlroy.
