Phil Mickelson is making his Rocket Mortgage Classic debut this week. He says it will also be his last.
Mickelson confirmed after his 3-under 69 Thursday at Detroit Golf Club that he doesn’t see himself returning to the tournament because of an article published earlier this week in The Detroit News titled, “Lefty and Dandy Don: How a Grosse Pointe bookie allegedly cheated Phil Mickelson.”
The story, written by Rob Snell, details the 2007 federal racketeering trial of Jack Giacalone during which a Detroit-area bookie named Don DeSeranno was accused of cheating the major-winning golfer out of $500,000.
