Mickelson apologizes for US Open rules violation: report
Five-time major golf champion Phil Mickelson apologized today for hitting a moving ball in Saturday's third round of the US Open in a text message to Golf.com.
The 48-year-old left-hander, six times an Open runner-up in the only major he has never won, sent a text message blaming his anger and frustration on a difficult day for his major rules violation.
"I know this should've come sooner, but it's taken me a few days to calm down," Mickelson wrote to the website.
"My anger and frustration got the best of me last weekend. I'm embarrassed and disappointed by my actions. It was clearly not my finest moment and I'm sorry."
