Phil withdrew reportedly to attend his daughter’s graduation. Have heard him say “family first” more than once. Mickelson is a total class act.
PHil’s daughter was not only graduating, but she was valedictorian and graduation speaker. I applaud Phil for skipping the US Open. As it turned out, he easily may have missed the cut with the other fairway-missing bombers who had a very hard time hitting the ball out of the tall fescue.
