Phil's hotel on fire ahead of BMW final round, unable to get clubs, clothes

MEDINAH, Ill. – Intense storms in the Chicago area that altered Sunday’s start at the BMW Championship may end Phil Mickelson’s 2018-19 season one round early.

Mickelson tweeted on Saturday, roughly 90 minutes before his scheduled 11:52 a.m. ET tee time, that lightning hit the top floor of his hotel, sparking a fire and leaving him unable to return to his room.

“I can’t back into my room and may miss me tee times because I am without clubs and clothes,” he wrote.

Mickelson is scheduled to go off the 10th tee with Brooks Koepka and Dylan Frittelli.
