At least he claims it is....
" "I think it happened at Oakmont," he told rules official Jon Brendle as they rode to the clubhouse in a cart, with Mickelson's wife sitting on his lap, and his caddie and Shiatsu massage therapist Jim Weathers also crammed into the cart. "
He went on to add " "I don't think it's anything serious," Mickelson said. "I just can't put any pressure ... or grip the club." "
Sounds like it might be something that could put a serious damper on his US Open aspirations, which have been soaring since he started working with famed swing guru Butch Harmon.
In related news, this is interesting for us here at ThreePuttBogey.com as we're taking a crew out to Oakmont for the US Open this year, and we'll be reporting in from there. We'll be sure to keep you in the loop about the course and what's going on behind the scenes.
It appears as though Mickelson will be fine to play in the US Open next week. MRI's were negative on the wrist and doctors believe it's just an inflamation. He will undergo a cortizone injection to get the swelling down.
