PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – New month, new setup, same results for Phil Mickelson at the Players Championship.
Mickelson remained undecided about his Players fate up until the very last minute, first stating that the tournament is no longer a “must-play” for him and then committing just prior to the entry deadline. Mickelson arrived at TPC Sawgrass for a practice round Sunday after missing the cut at Bay Hill, and he explained that getting a first-hand view of the course – and its less-than-ample rough – was the deciding factor in his decision to tee it up this week.
