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.

However, and it's a big however, no one in golf currently deserves to be compared with Michelle Wie. She is on her own ring of Saturn, going round and round, with no guidance on how to get off. I imagine that Phil wanted to perform more in this event than any other, and his words leak the inner turmoil of frustration that he is currently experiencing. As in, "look what I did with one wrist...imagine how well I'd have played with two."
Phil has a larger entourage and he whines more.
From all reports (to his credit) he didn't nail any cars in the parking lot or many greens for that matter.
They were both injured players with injured wrists.
They both played major tournament, the US Open and lpga championship, but would probably have skipped those events, had they not been majors.
Phil and Michelle knew they weren't at their physical best going into those majors, but great competitors like them don't like to skip majors.
oh wait...
They were both injured players with injured wrists"
Exactly correct, except for one small point. Mickelson's injury was real, and Michelle Wie's was made up, fake, phony, whatever you want to call it.
