SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – After finishing the PGA Championship at rainy Baltusrol, Phil Mickelson is ready for a break.
Mickelson won this event the last time it was contested on the Lower Course back in 2005, but that same magic wasn’t available this time around. Two weeks after his runner-up finish at Royal Troon, Mickelson shot a 3-under 277 total that was capped by a 2-under 68 in the final round which left him well behind the leaders.
While some players will pack their bags for the Olympics, Mickelson now has an extended break leading into his next start at The Barclays.
