Phil Mickelson Rebounds In Round 2 Of U.S. Open

Entering Round 2’s action, Waggle Room’s Ryan Ballengee wondered whether Phil Mickelson would be able to “get his act together.” Well, through the first nine holes on Friday, Mickelson is answering with an emphatic, “yes.”

Mickelson has scored five birdies in the front nine alone to bring him back to par for the tournament. With the back nine left to play in Round 2, he’s now tied for fifth overall, jumping up the leaderboard by 61 spots.

Five birdies within nine holes is always impressive, but remember that the course at Pebble Beach is a very, very difficult course.
