Mickelson made a mockery of his sport's national championship on his 48th birthday, and he should now do the honorable thing and remove himself from the tournament. He hit his moving ball out of frustration on the 13th green at Shinnecock Hills, and then he told a counterfeit tale about his intent. Mickelson said he took a strategic whack at his rolling putt as it headed downhill to accept the two-stroke penalty rather than risk playing the ball conventionally and taking a score more damaging than the 10 he posted on the par 4.

Phil Mickelson should withdraw from the U.S. Open after his bizarre display at the 13th hole at Shinnecock Hills

Phil Mickelson is an embarrassment. His outlandish behavior should have disqualified him. Bush league.

Is golf breaking down? I was reading that the golfers claim that the crowds are getting worse behaved, and they are not pleased that more often these days those crowds get to drink, because the customer is always right.

What the Hell, damn near everything else that matters in this country is breaking down. ..
 
looks like he got pissed off. it happens. i have been so mad that i tried to throw the ball at the hole and dropped it instead. i took the penalty. since then, i don't throw tantrums on the course.

In the interview he claimed it was strategic and he has always wanted to do something like that.
