It could be a new golfing trend but it could be that Phil Mickelson’s hat was a little too big.
However the sight of Phil Mickelson sporting a fold back metal paper clip on the right side of his Callaway cap drew plenty of media interest after his fighting round of 69 on day two of the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open at Castle Stuart.
The 2013 Scottish Open champion, who had worn the same paper clip on day one, produced an impressive turnaround in form on day two including holing his second shot at the par four 16th or the seventh hole of his round for an eagle ‘2’ in a score of 69 to get back inside the top-50 at one over par.

The five-time Major winning American began the second round sharing 89th place and looked to be heading for the weekend off at six over in total after six holes and then completed his last dozen holes in five under.
“I was very proud of the way I managed to turn it around especially after dropping two shots early but then I got lucky on 16 to make eagle and that turned it around for me,” he said.
Also assured of four rounds, and also at one over par, are compatriots Steve Stricker (71) and Patrick Reed (70)
