Phil Mickelson To Face Late Fitness Test Wednesday In Phoenix
With Tiger and Rory in the field in Dubai, organizers of the Phoenix Open are sweating over the fitness of defending champion Phil Mickelson.
Follow @golfcentraldocMickelson withdrew mid tournament from the Farmers Open after suffering a recurring back pain and since then has announced he will not now play in the Phoenix Open Pro-Am event this Wednesday. Mickelson is undergoing intensive treatment to try to be fit in time and will instead face a practice session on Wednesday after which a decision on whether to play will be made.
"If it was any other tournament, I'd skip it," Mickelson said, "but I'm defending, Phoenix is my second hometown and I love the event. I'll have a light practice session and if it goes well I may try to play."
