INCHEON, South Korea – Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson stood on the 18th green at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea, waiting to be interviewed on television after a 2-up victory over Jason Day and Steven Bowditch in Thursday’s opening foursomes session of the Presidents Cup. Mickelson was all smiles, but he was getting antsy. “Are we going to do this or what?” he said. Just then, he looked up and caught the greenside JumboTron replaying the shot of the day, a bunker shot that he holed for birdie at the 13th green.
“Did we just miss it?” Mickelson said, a look of disappointment etched on his face.
