All eyes are on Phil Mickelson for everything but his golf
BROOKLINE, Mass. — The chain-link fence to the left of the driving range had been bent to below eye level. Fans in attendance at The Country Club on Tuesday wanted to get a glimpse of Phil Mickelson while he warmed up for his practice round — his return to a stateside course after a four-month hiatus. Some were quiet, whispering among each other about the democratic and moral implications of what Mickelson had done by joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series. Others were loud, calling out to Mickelson directly about how glad they were to have him back. One fan stood out: «How's the pockets looking?!» the fan yelled. Mickelson smiled, gave a thumbs up and pulled out a wad of cash. Laughs ensued.
