Phil Mickelson has never won the U.S. Open and, after his first round Thursday, it didn’t appear he was going to make the cut to stay in the tournament through the weekend. Mickelson finished with an opening-round 79 – which was good for 9-over par and put him in second-to-last place at Winged Foot. ZACH JOHNSON NAILS INCREDIBLE PUTT FOR BIRDIE AT US OPEN“I drove it poorly, and I putted poorly,” he told reporters after his round. “Lefty” said he would play as hard as he could in the second round to try to make the cut. Justin Thomas led the field after the first round with a 65 – the lowest U.S. Open score ever shot at the course.
