Penalty strokes for Phil Mickelson during the PGA Tour’s A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier in West Virginia. He was on the seventh tee Sunday when he tamped down grass in front of the tee box. Although the violation appeared to be unintentio­nal, it technicall­y improved his line of play. He was forced to call a twostroke penalty on himself. Mickelson said he “wasn’t really thinking.” He carded a double-bogey instead of a par on the hole. The penalty followed his breach of conduct last month in the U.S. Open.
