Flair play to Phil over missed cut

-

PHIL MICKELSON believes he missed his first cut of the year with “flair”.

The 2013 champion failed to make a birdie for the first time in a Major round for five years in his opening 73.

“Lefty” made four birdies yesterday, but added eight bogeys and a triple-bogey seven at No.3.

The last cut he missed was at the Deutsche Bank Championsh­ip last September. “It’s not that big a deal,” he said. “And I missed it with flair.

“Rather than dwell on two rough days here, I’ll go home and get ready for upcoming events.”
