That’s how things went for the six-time US Open runner-up at The Country Club this week: a series of apologies, interrupted by a whole lot of bad golf shots

Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickelson’s tee shot on No. 3 landed in the rough to the right, and when he arrived at his ball he saw a man sitting on the ground, holding an icepack to his right temple, with medical staff gathered around.
Mickelson went over and gave the man a glove and apologised. One problem: It was Sam Horsfield’s shot from the neighboring sixth hole that hit him. “It’s just instinct,” Mickelson said, drawing laughter from the gallery. “I would normally think it’s me.”
