News broke late Friday that the federal authorities, the FBI and SEC, are looking into Phil Mickelson, along with investor Carl Icahn and gambler William “Billy” Walters, for a string of well-timed trades made in 2011.
Mickelson, who shot an even-par 72 in the third round of The Memorial, was greeted by a large group of reporters after he finished signing his scorecard. When he turned the corner from the scoring room and walked toward the podium, he reacted with a big, goofy smile and said, “Awesome!” Laughter ensued.
