MAMARONECK, N.Y. — Phil Mickelson is headed home after failing to make the cut in his return to Winged Foot.
Lefty shot an opening 79 in his first U.S. Open since turning 50 and followed with a 74 in the second round.
Mickelson finished at 13 over par and was well off the cut line. He blocked a tee shot way left on No. 18 to blow a one-shot lead in the U.S. Open at Winged Foot in 2006.
Patience, pitching and big drives put DeChambeau in position
Patience, pitching and big drives have put Bryson DeChambeau in good position at the U.S. Open.
With the wind kicking up and the temperature dropping at Winged Foot, DeChambeau was one of the very few to conquer the U.S. Open-like conditions that finally showed up for the second round.
He shot 2-under 68 to reach the halfway point at 3-under 137, one of only five players in red numbers with the afternoon starters about halfway through their rounds.
