Phil Mickelson unsure if he'd accept special invite into U.S. Open at Torrey

As he gears up to try and qualify for his hometown U.S. Open, Phil Mickelson remains undecided on if he will accept a special invitation from the USGA should he need one.

“I don't know; I just don't know the answer to that right now,” Mickelson told ESPN.com’s Bob Harig on Thursday at the Valspar Championship.

Mickelson, who is currently ranked No. 113 in the Official World Golf Ranking, has a couple of other paths into the June 17-20 championship at Torrey Pines in San Diego. He can qualify either via the top 60 of the world rankings by May 24 or June 7, or he can get in through sectional qualifying.
