Late Miscues Cost Phil Mickelson At Maybe His Last US Open

OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Phil Mickelson’s 34th appearance at the U.S. Open was short-lived. The six-time runner-up shot a second straight 4-over 74 to miss the cut at Oakmont by a stroke. There’s a chance Mickelson may never compete at the one major championship his resume is missing again. Mickelson’s five-year exemption into the U.S. Open he received for winning the 2021 PGA Championship is expiring. The USGA could offer him an exemption next year when the tournament heads to Shinnecock, one of several avenues of possibility for Mickelson to return. The six-time major champion isn’t saying. He declined to speak to reporters after his round.
