Late miscues cost Phil Mickelson a shot at the weekend in his 34th -- and maybe last
- Phil Mickelson missed the cut by one stroke at the 2025 U.S. Open after double bogeying two of his last four holes, ending at eight over par with a final two-putt par.
- Mickelson, 54 years old, had admitted this tournament could be his final U.S. Open after a 35-year quest for two major crowns he never captured, including the elusive career grand slam.
- His chances unraveled late despite appearing safe, marking a fitting end given his long history at the event and the expiration of his USGA exemption following his 2021 PGA Championship win.
- Observers note Mickelson’s complicated relationship with the USGA and role in fracturing the game ensure a free entry to future Opens is unlikely, though qualifying remains a possible path.
- While some believe Mickelson could still play future majors through qualifying or exemptions tied to the U.S. Senior Open, opinions differ on whether this U.S. Open was truly his last.
