Phil Mickelson Gets 2-Shot Penalty for Hitting Putt Before It Stopped at US Open

Shinnecock Hills has not been kind to golfers this week at the 2018 U.S. Open, but Phil Mickelson suffered some self-inflicted damage Saturday.

After posting a four-over through the first 12 holes of the third round, Lefty ran into some trouble on the 13th. Not only did he struggle putting, but he also cost himself two strokes by chasing down a missed putt and taking another shot before the ball stopped moving.
