Indeed, the World Golf Hall of Famer often creates conflict where there seems to be none, and Sunday’s parting blast at U.S. Open organizer USGA after a frustrating weekend at The Players Championship was pretty much par for the course for the popular Lefty. The six-time runner-up in his national championship, Mickelson (78-71 on Saturday and Sunday to finish at 3-over for the week) has yet to play a practice round at Erin Hills ahead of next month’s U.S. Open. “I don’t know if doing one thing right is going to fix that,” Mickelson said in response to a reporter’s question about whether players may view the USGA more favorably if the Wisconsin venue receives rave reviews.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Webb Simpson has equaled the 54-hole scoring record at TPC Sawgrass as he continues to surge towards victory at THE PLAYERS Championship. Simpson fired a 4-under 68 on Saturday in the third round to move to 19-under 197 for the tournament, an astonishing seven shots clear of New Zealand’s Danny Lee (70). The former U.S. Open champion tied Greg Norman’s 54-hole scoring record from 1994 and is now ready to become the 24th player to have both a major championship and a win at THE PLAYERS on their resume. Simpson carded four birdies and a chip-in eagle on Saturday to go with just two bogeys. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson (69) sits third at 10 under par while there is a five-way tie for fourth at 9-under. Jason Dufner (66), Jimmy Walker (70), PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year Xander Schauffele (71), 2016 PLAYERS Champion Jason Day (71) and Charl Schwartzel (73) will need to go deep Sunday to have even a slim chance. Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth shot blistering early 7-under 65s to move into the top-10 but find themselves 11 shots off the lead. No player has ever lost a seven shot 54-hole lead in PGA TOUR history.
