How bad was Phil Mickelson’s day going Friday at Pebble Beach?
After chipping in for birdie at the par-4 10th hole, Mickelson handed his wedge to his caddie, brother Tim Mickelson, and then without looking reached his hand out, expecting Tim to hand him his putter. After a few moments, Phil realized the gaffe and threw both of his hands up.
It was just one of those rounds for Mickelson, who shot 8-over 80 on the seaside layout where he has won five AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Ams. Mickelson’s round, tied for the lefty’s worst at Pebble (he closed in 80 back in 2003), included just two birdies to go along with four bogeys, two doubles and a quadruple bogey on the iconic par-5 finishing hole, where Mickelson hit two approach shots into the water, one from 262 yards out and the second from 160 yards.
