#Phil Mickelson made some really weird decisions at Memorial

Phil Mickelson had a curious final round Sunday at the Memorial, opting to putt his second shot on the 447-yard, par-4 13th hole while 78 yards from the pin. He later laid up on the par-3 16th, which has been eating players alive all week because the green is almost impossible to hold.

Mickelson shot 78 in Sunday’s final round to finish 9-over for the week.

Asked about his lay-up strategy on 16, Mickelson said, “Yeah, 16 is a hard hole. I played it eight days (including last week) and I’m 10-over (actually 9-over). So, I improved my score today by playing for a 4, and I’ve made four or five doubles on the hole, and it just is a hard golf hole for me.

“Obviously, you can’t go left in the water, and when I go right, usually it’s a hotter shot, like I pull it or it draws and it’s always on the downslope of the bunker, and I just can’t stop it often times on the green. So, I just laid up to where I have an angle to putt it up the green, took a 5 out of play and I was trying to make a 3 and had a 12-footer for it.’’

He didn’t make it. Mickelson, including last week’s Workday Charity Open, carded four double bogeys, three pars and Sunday’s bogey.
