Phil on Torrey Pines: 'Not really a great place for me'

With less than 24 hours until the deadline, Phil Mickelson still hasn’t decided whether to play in his hometown event at Torrey Pines.

Mickelson has made 28 consecutive appearances at the Farmers Insurance Open – the tournament held about 12 miles from his home in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. – but even after his opening 60 at the Desert Classic, he still sounded noncommittal. The deadline to commit is Friday afternoon.

“I’m waiting until (Friday),” Mickelson told reporters. “Quite honestly, I just wasn’t sure I would be ready for a golf course that long and hard. So I’ve been kind of waiting to see how my game felt the first couple of days.
