Phil Mickelson has ruled out any visit to the infamous Dunvegan Hotel when in St.Andrews, and located a wedge from the 18th green, during what will be his sixth Old Course Open, and where he made his debut in golf’s oldest Major in 1990. “If I go into the Dunvegan I would get mobbed,” he said smiling. “Besides I can’t stand beer and I have had 1.7 beers since I was in college, so of three cans that I opened I drank one and had a little bit out of the other two. “So I can’t stand ...
