Phil Mickelson walked off the course Saturday and into the broadcast booth with CBS Sports.
He wasn’t there to talk about his third-round 70. Instead, he spent more than an hour calling the action alongside Jim Nantz and Nick Faldo.
“It just worked out,” Mickelson said Sunday at the PGA Championship, where he was tied for 70th. “I made the cut, so I’m going to be here. I had an early tee time, so I had this afternoon to spend time or to waste time, and it just kind of worked out.”
Mickelson said he’s always been tight with the CBS crew – he plays in a fantasy football league with some of the producers and commentators.
