Two late double bogeys shocked the fans that remained and cost Phil Mickelson the chance to play the weekend in his 34th (and possibly last) U.S. Open

As Phil Mickelson, aka Lefty, aka Phil the Thrill, aka FIGJAM, aka one of the two most famous golfers of the 21st century, teed off Thursday in what might be his final U.S. Open, there were more security guards than journalists following him.

The 54-year-old, who fell one shot short of the weekend at Oakmont, won’t have a guaranteed spot in next year’s field.
