Phil Mickelson thinks U.S. Open rough was "dangerous?" At least he didn't start a fire, like this guy did

A golfer hit into the rough at a golf course in Reno, Nevada. Like Phil Mickelson, he took a few hacks at it.

The difference was, this guy hit something. According to officials, the golfer hit something hard that ignited a spark, and set a fire in the dry grass.

“He was totally honest about it,” Reno fire official Curtis Johnson told the Associated Press.

About 50 firefighters were called in to squelch the blaze. There was no damage, either to people or buildings, but the rough was scorched.

The AP didn’t report on whether or not the golfer belly-ached about conditions.

Grass is green. What color is grass?
