Phil Mickelson makes bad start to US Open title bid

Phil Mickelson plays his shot from the 12th tee during the first round of the US Open

Phil Mickelson’s bid to complete the career grand slam in his home city of San Diego got off to a poor – and somewhat unfortunate – start at Torrey Pines.

After play in the first round of the 121st US Open was delayed by 90 minutes due to fog, Mickelson covered his opening six holes in three over par.
