Phil closes with 69 at PGA: 'Sick of' being close

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Phil Mickelson left the PGA Championship having posted back-to-back rounds in the 60s.

He was almost as frustrated by that as he was encouraged by it.

“I'm close,” Mickelson said. “I'm sick of saying that. I'm tired of not being there yet.”

Mickelson followed up Saturday’s 66 with a 69 on Sunday. He pitched in for eagle at the short sixth. He finished at 8-under overall and looking like he would place among the top 20 at day’s end.

“It keeps getting better and better, and I keep hitting more and more good shots each round, but I keep making some dumb mistakes,” he said.
