"Mickelson let himself become one of those who would not be a factor at the 139th Open Championship simply due to a poor attitude."

Tough love from Bob Harig after Phil Mickelson finished right before play was suspended.

Lefty's disposition did not become much better when he was talking to reporters after his round Friday and heard the announcement that play had been suspended due to high winds -- meaning those on the course were getting a break from the bad weather, or so it seemed.

"I'm happy for those guys," Mickelson said in full sarcasm mode. "That's great."

Weather is almost never a factor in suspending play at the Open due to the excellent drainage capabilities of sand-based links courses and a lack of thunderstorms.

But if golf balls cannot stay still on a green, there is no choice but to halt play
