Mickelson: Tour preference should be 'no concern' to PGA ahead of Ryder Cup 

As usual, Mickelson had a lot to say even when he didn’t say very much about some subjects.

Phil Mickelson played in a final pairing on Sunday that featured the last two PGA champions. At age 52, he got the better of Justin Thomas (and his former longtime caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay) shooting 70 to Thomas’ 72 and finishing tied 60th.

It wasn’t quite as impressive a run as he made last month in finishing runner-up with Brooks Koepka at the Masters, but unlike at Augusta, Mickelson felt more comfortable to speak his mind after the PGA Championship.
