ROUND 3 NOTES
UNLUCKY PHIL: HyFlyers GC Captain Phil Mickelson was just one shot off the lead through six holes Sunday. But then came arguably the unluckiest break in LIV Golf history.
Mickelson, playing his third shot, hit a chip that banged off the flagstick at the par-4 seventh, bounced onto the green and rolled into the water. The double bogey took the wind out of his sails, and he eventually finished in solo sixth at 1 under.
“It was unfortunate,” Mickelson said. “I don’t know what to say. Obviously, I hit the chip a little high on the flag, like it was going to be 12, 15 feet long, but certainly water wasn’t in play. … But I hit a lot of good shots later on. I was able to make a couple of birdies, get the round back to even par and finish off a good solid tournament.”
