Phil Mickelson hurts his wrist practicing in the Oakmont rough, then misses the cut, then proclaims Oakmont “dangerous.”

What’s he going to do next? Get himself a personal injury attorney and sue?

I’m no particular fan of the USGA, but why should Mickelson blame the USGA because he did something stupid? Besides, who injures himself playing golf?

The guy is starting to appear a little like Michelle Wie. (Note the similarities in their wrist injuries). Always blame someone else.

Mickelson’s odd accusations fly in the face of most of the other competitors at Oakmont, most of whom acknowledge the course’s excruciating difficulty, but also characterize it as “fair.”

And this coloring of the birdie Angel Cabrera made at No. 18 as “knocking out” Mickelson is ridiculous. Carera himself said it best: “I did not knock out Mickelson, Mickelson knocked out himself.”

Not according to Phil. In Phil’s World, he’s supposed to get the preferred lies.
