Backspin: Woods has a great record at Pinehurst No. 2. He tied for third in 1999 and was runner-up in 2005. He also was a lot younger and didn’t have any hardware in his legs. Woods doesn’t like this, but small victories are making the cut. This will be his first U.S. Open since 2020 at Winged Foot.Backspin: Mickelson gets a mention as he pursues the career Grand Slam, even though at 53 it gets more improbable every year. He hasn’t won since his 2021 PGA Championship title at age 50.
