"I am tired of trying to fight to make cuts. Still, Mickelson is focused on the weekend's action. Several other golfers struggled with the wind and missed the cut, including the first two Rocket Mortgage Classic champions, Nate Lashley (who shot a 2-under 142 over two days) and Bryson DeChambeau (1-under 143). "The greens were soft, if you hit a good shot you could have a good chance to make birdie, but I struggled kind of gauging the wind." "The wind made it challenging to get the ball close. I struggled with that but the course is in great shape," Mickelson said. 12 and 14 before a birdie on the 17th left him even for the day and -3 through two rounds, right at the cut line. After Thursday's hot and humid weather, including a rain delay, Friday was relatively mild, albeit with occasionally strong winds. Mickelson bogeyed the first hole, but came back with birdies on the second and seventh holes. "So I was very impressed and appreciative of the way everybody was today," he said Friday. "I hope that this tournament continues to bring that type of community involvement and bring them together, and if that happens, I'd love to be a part of it because I thought it was really cool."īefore talking to the media, Mickelson had a rough second round on the course. Mickelson reaffirmed his commitment to Rocket Mortgage and its impact on the Detroit community. "If he gets 50,000, and all of those 50,000 agree to do one random act of kindness for another member of the community, I'm in." There's a guy named Mike Sullivan that's trying to raise 50,000 signatures," Mickelson said during his post-round news conference. "The people here were so nice that I'll make a deal with them. The if I can gather 50,000 Michigan signatures would you reconsider and come back to Detroit next year!? All of us fans want you here…"
Mickelson praised the fans and cited a tweet by Mike Sullivan, the founder of Metro Detroit Golfers, a community group of Michigan golfers, from Thursday.
