How did Phil Mickelson play at The Masters?
Phil Mickelson narrowly missed the cut at The Masters last week, finishing the first two rounds at five over par. The cut line was two over par.
Mickelson has a long history of success at Augusta National and his missed cut last week was only the fourth time he's missed the cut in his 31 outings at The Masters. The six-time Major champion has won three green jackets in his career, winning The Masters in 2004, 2006 and 2010.
Even in recent years, Mickelson has had success at Augusta National. At age 52 in 2023, he finished tied for second place at The Masters, losing to winner Jon Rahm by four shots.
In the final round in 2023, Mickelson fired a seven-under-par 65, shooting a five-under-par 30 on the second nine. The lefty made a birdie on three of the final four holes, including on the difficult par-four 18th hole.
At the 2025 Masters, Mickelson seemed poised to make the cut with only a few holes to play. After shooting a three-over-par 75 in the opening round, he recovered for much of round two and was two under par for the day with four holes left to play.
However, Mickelson stumbled to the finish line. He made a double bogey on the par-five 15th hole, a bogey at the par-three 16th hole and a bogey on the par-four 18th hole, ultimately missing the cut by three shots.
Mickelson aims to play well at the remaining three Majors in 2025.
