Phil Mickelson said he narrowly avoided missing his final-round tee time for the BMW Championship at Medinah on Sunday after his hotel room was "struck by lightning".
The five-time major winner said he had to leave his clubs and clothes behind when his hotel was evacuated.
"How's this for crazy?," Mickelson wrote on Twitter. "My hotel was struck by lightning, I was on top floor, we were evacuated and the place is on fire (only thing of mine on fire this week).
"I can't get back into my room and may miss my tee time because I am without clubs and clothes."
"EMTs were awesome! I'm going to make it. Turns out my clubs acted as a fire retardant. Lucky me."
