Phil Mickelson has never won an Open Championship. The golfer also known as “Lefty” is looking to change that after an impressive start during his fourth round at the 2011 British Open.
2011 British Open Leaderboard Scores: Phil Mickelson Making His Move
Mickelson began the final round in a tie for seventh place after staying on par through the first three rounds at Royal St. George’s golf course, but has moved into a tie for second place through six holes on Sunday morning.
The American golfer birdied the second, fourth and sixth hole -- Holes 2 and 4 are par-fours while six is a par-three -- to put him in a tie with Dustin Johnson and just one stroke behind current leader Darren Clarke.
Considering Mickelson’s never had the best luck in majors, his start to the fourth day in Samwich, England, is definitely worth keeping any eye on as he continues to attempt to surge to the top of the leaderboard.
