PGA: Mickelson shrugs off worries

/noticias.info/

Phil Mickelson has dismissed concerns about his form as America go in search of reclaiming the Ryder Cup on Friday.

The left-hander has struggled since his disastrous conclusion to the US Open when he threw away the chance of a second successive major after his Masters win in April.

"The only thing that matters is the performance this week," he said. "The past weeks do not factor in, as long as I'm playing well and getting ready."

He added: "I've had a couple of good practice sessions the last few weeks and I'm looking forward to the week - but I won't really know until Friday comes.

"I'm fresh and excited to play because, after playing for a long time, mentally I get stale and am not as sharp.

"That's why I took some time off and started practising for the Ryder Cup."

Mickelson stressed there was a desire among the team to reward captain Tom Lehman for the way he has managed them so far.

"We haven't played our best and come close for some captains and we are hoping to put forward our best performance for Tom because he deserves it," said the Masters champion.

"We are trying to play well, not just for Tom but for ourselves and our fellow team members and the people we respect back in the United States." notas_de_prensa_archivo
