Phil Mickelson will take a little extra momentum with him to Royal Troon for the 145th Open following a final-round 66 in rainy conditions at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open.
Mickelson won this event at Castle Stuart in 2013, and his affinity with the venue showed Sunday when he made it around without dropping a shot. Lefty carded four birdies in addition to an eagle on the par-4 ninth, a shot that sparked a run of 4 under in four holes from Nos. 9-12.
Mickelson finished the week at 7 under, and his closing score briefly vaulted him into the top 10.
