Why did Phil Mickelson blow the 2006 U.S. Open? It wasn’t just about a pushed drive into the trees on the final hole. It was about poor decision-making, and perhaps wanting something too much. On the occasion of Mickelson returning to Winged Foot for another U.S. Open, host Keely Levins unpacks the confluence of events that led to Mickelson’s crushing double-bogey finish. With the help of experts, she also identifies the series of measures he could have taken to avoid such disappointment. But this episode is not just about itemizing what Phil did wrong. It’s about looking at ways all golfers can learn from our mistakes, and to help us manage our emotions in our biggest moments on the golf course.
