Phil Mickelson misses Barclays Scottish Open
- and almost certainly the Open too
FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Phil Mickelson has, as expected, confirmed that he will not be playing the Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond the week after next.
And with his wife Amy starting breast cancer treatment in the coming few days it seems unlikely that the world number two will be at Turnberry for The Open on July 16-19.
Mickelson took time out to be with his family after the shock of the diagnosis in May, but returned two weeks ago and then at last week's US Open finished second for a record fifth time in the event.
He has played in every Open since 1993, but has only once challenged for the title. At Troon five years ago he missed the play-off between Todd Hamilton and Ernie Els by only a single stroke.
