AFP FILE PHOTOLA JOLLA: Phil Mickelson will try to complete a career Grand Slam on his hometown course while long-driving Bryson DeChambeau defends his first major title in next week's US Open. On Thursday (Friday in Manila), the 121st US Open begins at Torrey Pines on the coastal cliffs of the Pacific Ocean, the same golf course where Tiger Woods outlasted Rocco Mediate in an epic playoff to win the 2008 US Open on a broken leg. "I do believe that if I stay sharp mentally, I can play well at Torrey Pines," Mickelson said. That has meant two weeks of work preparing his game, mentally and physically, at Torrey Pines. "Because I know that I'm playing well and this could very well be my last really good opportunity to win a US Open."
