Mickelson withdraws from US Open golf

American golfer Phil Mickelson has pulled out of the US Open, not having time to get from his daughter's high school graduation in California to Wisconsin.

Phil Mickelson has withdrawn from the US Open, realising there was no chance to get from his daughter's high school graduation in California to make his tee time in Wisconsin.

This is the first time Mickelson has missed the US Open since failing to qualify in 1993.

Mickelson had hoped that with the potential for storms over Wisconsin, there might be a four-hour delay that would allow him to watch his daughter graduate and zoom across the country in his private jet.
