MEDINAH, Ill. – After completing the last, and perhaps most unusual, round of his PGA Tour season, Phil Mickelson didn’t lose his trademark grin.
“It was electric,” Mickelson said, describing his week at the BMW Championship while also offering a subtle nod to the lightning strike and roof fire at his nearby hotel that almost cost him a final-round tee time at Medinah Country Club.
Mickelson rolled into the parking lot a mere 40 minutes before his 11:52 a.m. ET tee time, swapping sandals for golf shoes in the parking lot before taking a couple of quick swings with a training aid next to his courtesy car before heading to the range.
