MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) It’s a tournament Phil Mickelson has come so close to winning so many times, only to agonizingly fall short.
Not the U.S. Open – that’s next week – but the St. Jude Classic in Memphis.
Mickelson definitely won’t claim that first U.S. Open victory this year because he’s already said he’s skipping it to attend his daughter’s high school graduation .
But he hopes to finally break through at TPC Southwind, where Mickelson has three top-three finishes in the last four years in Memphis with no titles.
”I don’t want to think about the results because when you start thinking results, you never perform your best,” Mickelson said Wednesday.
