Things not going to plan for Mickelson

Phil Mickelson won the Masters in April after romping to a 13-shot victory the previous Sunday. Things are rather different for his attempt to make a successful defence of the US PGA championship at Medinah in Chicago this week. He has just missed his first halfway cut of the year.

But Mickelson has enough experience – he is in his 15th season as a professional now – not to worry too much about what has happened in the past. Even if it has only just happened.
