Confirmed Phil Sighting At Chambers Improves U.S. Open Odds

Even though he's not a millennial, most eyes are still on Phil Mickelson come U.S. Open time since the perennial contender is severely overdue to break through.

With a new venue in Chambers Bay, Mickelson has been waiting for the course to close to the public so he could play all 18 greens and test out the course in peace.

Todd Milles reports that this finally happened, with a quick nine and an "interesting" declaration following his round.

“A very interesting course,” he added.

Finally, Mickelson was asked if anything about it surprised him. He responded by saying that Chambers Bay, indeed, closely resembled the type of links course found in Great Britain.

And with that, Mickelson sped off into the afternoon.

BTW for those into U.S. Open news, Milles is a good Twitter follow for the latest from University Place, Washington.

**Phil going retro with a Jones bag! Love that he's rekindling memories of his high school days. (For you millennials, that was the bag us Generation Xers were issued.)
