- Mickelson needs US Open victory to complete grand slam
- Torrey Pines is in golfer’s home city of San Diego
Phil Mickelson believes he has a “unique opportunity” to complete the career grand slam in his home city of San Diego on the back of his stunning US PGA Championship triumph.
Just nine days before rolling back the years at Kiawah Island to become golf’s oldest major champion, Mickelson had reluctantly accepted a special exemption for the 121st US Open at Torrey Pines, where he will celebrate his 51st birthday on Wednesday, the day before the event starts.
Phil Mickelson will get another chance to claim the career grand slam after a special exemption into the U.S. Open.
