Lefty to skip British Open, citing wife’s health (AP)

FILE - In this June 21, 2009, file photo, Phil Mickelson looks on during the third round of the U.S. Open Golf Championship at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in Farmingdale, N.Y. Mickelson has decided not to play the British Open next week so he can be with his wife as she starts her recovery from breast cancer. He said Friday, July 10, 2009, on his Web site that winning majors is his main objective, but that family comes first.

Phil Mickelson will skip the British Open so he can be with his wife as she starts her recovery from breast cancer, ending the longest active streak of majors played at 61. Mickelson said last month at the U.S. Open, where he was runner-up for a record fifth time, it was "highly unlikely" he would play at Turnberry next week.
