We all know Phil Mickelson is a little different – look, he’s touched in the head – but his display at No. 13 in U.S. Open Saturday action was bizarre in the extreme.

Three times he hits it up the hill at No. 13 from about 100 yards. Three times it comes back. It looked like the ball was tied to his club with a string. Maybe it was Mickelson’s new boomerang shot.

A QUADRUPLE-bogey.

I like Mickelson, but I have to admit I let loose several guffaws. You couldn’t help but laugh. It was like an Adam Sandler movie.

I’ve done stuff like that. You’ve done stuff like that. This is the guy who’s supposed to be battling Tiger Woods for the top spot in the world. This is the guy looking forward to playing this U.S. Open on what is essentially his home course since the tournament was announced.

This is not the kind of play the No. 2 player in the world makes.

I was still laughing when Stuart Appleby four-putted from 18 feet. That started me up again.

I’m enjoying this U.S. Open.
