Juan Martín del PotroJuan Martín del Potro defeated the five-time defending champion Roger Federer in the final, 3–6, 7–6, 4–6, 7–6, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2009 US Open. He became the first Argentine man to win the title since Guillermo Vilas in 1977.
How it was made is a different tale. Mickelson’s drive drew a decent lie in the rough, leaving him 174 yards into the green. The proceeding swing was far from clean, his approach finding a greenside bunker some 15-20 yards short of the green. Worse, his ball buried in the lip.
Mickelson’s drive landed in a bunker right of the fairway, coming to rest just short of the lip. There was no chance to reach the green in two, but nothing to sound the alarm: Advance the ball 80 or so yards into the fairway, get a chance to save birdie.
Because there’s no blood on the scorecard pertaining to the par-5 12th, as Mickelson—who led by one at the time—walked away with par. However, it was indicative of a bigger problem for Mickelson, as he failed to birdie a par 5 all week, playing those eight holes in two over.
At the 12th on Sunday, Mickelson had 144 yards for his third shot from a prime angle to a back pin. His approach came about a yard short of reaching the upper tier, leaving 35 feet and change for birdie—a birdie try that never really scared the hole.
A bad shot or bad hole can veer the caravan off track, but no player reaches the 72nd hole without a few bruises. Especially at the U.S. Open, which is less a tournament and more of a heavyweight fight. It’s not a matter of if you’ll be upper-cutted but when, and how you will respond.
At the par-4 13th hole at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Mickelson sent a 7-foot bogey putt past the hole and toward a downslope that could’ve carried it off the green. The left-hander did what small children do at mini-golf courses around the country: He ran after the ball and hit it as it was moving: A remarkable sequence on Hole 13, ...
He made a 10 on the hole, because the USGA assessed a two-stroke penalty for hitting a moving ball.
This is Rule 1-2, which called into question if Mickelson should’ve been ejected: A player must not (i) take an action with the intent to influence the movement of a ball in play or (ii) alter physical conditions with the intent of affecting the playing of a hole.
Why Phil Mickelson hit a moving putt at the U.S. Open and didn’t get disqualified. Mickelson got a two-stroke penalty, and only some fine print in the rulebook saved him from a possible disqualification. SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Phil Mickelson wasn’t in contention by Saturday afternoon, but he created the U.S. Open ’s most stunning moment anyway. ...
Mickelson freely admits that he knew the rule and did it on purpose. “It was meant to take advantage of the rules as best as you can. In that situation, I was just going back and forth. I’d gladly take the two shots over continuing that display,” he told FOX after his round ended. Mickelson ran after his ball.
The USGA’s senior managing director of championships and governance, John Bodenhamer, talked to reporters after the USGA assessed Mickelson’s penalty. “Our committee mobilized quickly, our rules committee, and unanimously decided that this situation is specifically and explicitly covered under Rule 14-5,” he said.
But an exception to the rule makes clear that Mickelson was punished correctly: An action expressly permitted or expressly prohibited by another Rule is subject to that other Rule, not Rule 1-2. The rule about hitting a moving ball (14-5) is pretty explicit.
