ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Phil Mickelson said there was a 62 out there on the ancient Old Course when he began his final round Monday in the 144th British Open. The course was soft from a week’s worth of hard rain in spots and there was nary a breeze coming in off the North Sea.
There’s no longer a 62 out there.
As is expected in these parts, the weather is subject to change – and boy, it sure has. A bit past 1 p.m. local time, temperatures started to plummet, a wee bit of rain started to fall and wind speeds started to accelerate.
