Phil Mickelson, 55, Makes History at The Open
Phil Mickelson, at 55, has made history at The Open Championship. He's the oldest to achieve this since Tom Watson in 2009, shooting a bogey-free four-under 67. Meanwhile, Wyndham Clark's behavior at Majors has led to a ban from Oakmont Country Club.
Mickelson's remarkable performance comes after a season filled with controversy. In March, he reacted to a tweet from Justin Ray, comparing Scottie Scheffler and Joaquin Niemann's Major performances. This led to a public exchange with Kevin Kisner, who took a dig at Mickelson's tweet.
Mickelson acknowledged his mistakes and discussed the pressure of public scrutiny. He recently joked about golf's mental challenge with Greg Norman Jr. on Twitter and expressed condolences for Charlie Kirk's tragic death. Despite this, he remains focused on his game, as seen in his latest performance at The Open.
Scheffler, who praised for his detailed answer about what golf means to him, is currently leading The Open. Five months ago, he won the PGA Championship. Meanwhile, Niemann, who Mickelson's tweet compared to, missed the cut at The Open.
Clark's behavior at Majors, including breaking an advertising board and a locker room door, has led to a ban from Oakmont Country Club. He, along with Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa, have skipped interviews this season. Morikawa stated, 'I don't owe you guys anything.'
Mickelson's historic performance at The Open is a testament to his enduring skill and determination. Meanwhile, the sport continues to grapple with issues of player behavior and media interaction. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Mickelson and Scheffler, with Niemann looking to bounce back from his early exit.
