Mickelson carrying a grudge

Apparently there’s a little more to Phil Mickelson’s frustration with the USGA than just high rough.
As the story goes, Mickelson met with USGA officials on Wednesday night to discuss the brace on his left wrist. When he didn’t like the tone of the conversation—presumably meaning they were questioning whether the brace was legitimate—Mickelson emerged from the meeting and offered an impromptu interview to The Golf Channel’s Steve Stands.
The message of that interview was similar to what Mickelon said today: that the set up here is dangerous for players.
“It’s disappointing to dream as a kid about winning the U.S. Open and spend all this time getting ready for it and have the course set up injury you, you know?� said Mickelson, who turns 37 today, said. “You’re trying to win it and hit great shots, but you’re also trying not to end your career on one shot, or at least suspend it for a little while. That’s a little disappointing, yeah.�
Bear in mind some of this is speculation. But as Tim Rosaforte said on NBC, the USGA isn’t taking Mickelson’s complaints seriously.
So this is a golf blog, eh?
How do golfers get injured? Do they strain their hands trying to get their batting glove on? Maybe if he hadn’t ballooned into two Phil Mickelsons he’d be feeling better about things.
Hey Sam, came over from your Rangers blog. I’m surprised more Ranger fans haven’t come over here just to complain!! Where’s “pork anus”? LOL! I can’t really comment on golf don’t know much about it, but Phil Mickelson sounds like a whiner to me.
