The easiest golfer to root for at U.S. Opens for the last two decades (and especially recently) has been Phil Mickelson. Lefty has finished runner up a record six times at this tournament and has eight (!) top-five finishes here in his career. But Mickelson is not playing this week because of his daughter's high school graduation in California.
So who should take his place on the root-ability list? I have some names.
