Mickelson out of contention at US Open in first major after LIV Golf debut
CNN
Phil Mickelson is out of contention at the US Open, missing the cut in his first major since joining the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf series.
Having suffered a nightmare start at The Country Club on Thursday -- an eight-over 78 marring Mickelson's 52nd birthday -- the six-time major winner improved on Friday's second round to card a three-over 73.
However, with only the top 60 players and ties progressing to the weekend, Mickelson's 11-over par total meant his quest for an elusive US Open victory -- the only major he is yet to win -- continues.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
