LA JOLLA , June 17 ― Phil Mickelson celebrated his 51st birthday yesterday by making final preparations for the US Open as the six-time major winner chases more golf history starting today at Torrey Pines.

“I've shut off a lot of the other stuff to where I can kind of focus in on this week and really give it my best chance to try to play my best.” Mickelson, who grew up only a few miles from Torrey Pines, remains a popular bet at 50-1 odds after his historic triumph at Kiawah Island.World number 30 Mickelson has won three US PGA events at Torrey Pines but none since a 2001 renovation.

Mickelson tees off on the 10th hole at 7.51am today in a Southern California trio with Max Homa and fourth-ranked Xander Schauffele. A video of Koepka showing his disdain for a loud-talking DeChambeau from last month's PGA sparked the spat, which has extended into social media. Johnson would need to finish worse than solo 17th if Thomas wins or worse than a two-way share of 18th if Rahm wins to be dethroned.
