Phil Mickelson’s off-Target Shot at The Open Championship Lands on Hotel

Phil Mickelson had pushed himself to 10-under-par, just two shots off the lead, with a masterful final round at the British Open.

THE ROAD HOLE, the 17th on the Old Course at St Andrews, has ruined many golfer’s day down the years and it has claimed Phil Mickelson today.

Mickelson ended the tournament with a score of seven under par, five behind the leading trio of 2010 champion Louis Oosthuizen, Australia’s Jason Day and Irish amateur Paul Dunne.

Mickelson’s Callaway ball, complete with his markings, took a while to come to rest, bouncing around on the Old Course Hotel balcony.

Phil Mickleson is in the hunt to get back to the top of the leaderboard at the British Open, but he’s not doing everything right and is doing more harm than good.

He made the flawless start with a birdie at the first and picked up two more shots at six and seven to go out in 33.

Hotels play a big role in the lives of professional golfers.

Jordan Spieth, seeking a third straight major win, was alone in second a shot back.
