TROON, Scotland — Phil Mickelson keeps a mostly low profile these days when he is away from LIV Golf, even at the site of one of his greatest performances, although it was in a runner-up disappointment to Henrik Stenson in 2016.
After a birdie-birdie finish on Saturday saw Mickelson finish with a round of 72, he was requested in the media mixed zone and Lefty obliged, spending a few minutes with the assorted media answering questions ranging from his game to his “joggers” and even to a questionThat was in reference to the fact that the two long-time protagonists were seen side by side—backs to each other as Phil plays lefthanded—warming up on the driving range earlier in the week.
He also raved about Royal Troon: “I’ve played this course in all different winds, and it’s like playing the course for the first time. Every time you get a different wind. It’s incredible. It’s just one of the best designs in the world.” He was asked if the two exchanged words on the range: “We said hi. Yeah, we said hi, but we were both preparing. It’s not like we’re going to sit there and chat. But we said hello, yeah.”
