MEMPHIS — Phil Mickelson is playing the week before the U.S. Open to make sure his game is sharp as possible, particularly after not playing very well at the Masters after taking off before that major. "I know that for me to be sharp mentally especially into a tournament where the penalty for missing is so great like the U.S. Open, it's important that I'm sharp and I'm ready to play," Mickelson said Wednesday after finishing a practice round. He's got plenty of company at the St. Jude Classic.
