Four days after hitting a moving ball at the U.S. Open, which cost him a two-stroke penalty and ignited a firestorm of criticism over his handling of the situation, Phil Mickelson on Wednesday apologized for his actions.
"I know this should've come sooner, but it's taken me a few days to calm down," Mickelson said in a text message to GOLF.com. "My anger and frustration got the best of me last weekend. I'm embarrassed and disappointed by my actions. It was clearly not my finest moment and I'm sorry."
Mickelson rolled a downhill putt past the hole on the 13th green in Saturday's third round.
