AUGUSTA, Ga. Entering the Masters with his best form in years, Phil Mickelson had already blown himself out of the tournament by early Friday afternoon.Mickelson made a triple bogey and a double bogey en route to a 7-over 79, plummeting out of contention for a fourth green jacket. The 7-over round matched his career-worst score at Augusta National.He was at 5-over 149, on the cut line and more than a dozen shots off the lead.It was a rough day, he said afterward. I dont know whats happened the last couple of days. Its a little disappointing, because Ive been playing so well this year, to play like this. But its disappointing. Its my favorite tournament of the year, and its a rough couple of days.Mickelson broke a five-year winless drought with his victory last month at the WGC-Mexico Championship. It was the first time in his career that hed posted four consecutive top-6 finishes on Tour.His play this week has been unrecognizable.It just seemed like he wasnt completely comfortable off the tee, said Rickie Fowler, who was grouped with Mickelson over the first two rounds here.

Mickelson hit just five of 14 fairways in the second round. One of those misses was on the par-4 ninth hole, where he sailed his drive into the right trees. Just one shot off the lead at the time, he tried to play a punch shot with a 2-iron, but his ball caught a tree and ricocheted into the bushes. After escaping the trees, he couldnt pull off a risky flop shot short and right of the green, leading to a triple bogey. He bounced back with a birdie on 10, then bogeyed 11, pulled his tee shot into Raes Creek on 12 and then tacked on two more bogeys the rest of the way.Just like that, his chances at becoming the oldest Masters champion in history were over at least this year.Its disappointing, he said afterward. Theres a fine line between wanting it so bad and then also letting it happen. As you get older you feel a little bit more pressure each one because you dont feel as though you have unlimited number of events.Given how I was playing heading into this, I certainly put a lot of pressure on myself to perform this week and get it, because I know the opportunities here are lessening. I thought this was a great year, a great opportunity.
Prior to the 2015 Masters, Mickelson's best finish in 2015 was a tie for 17th. At the Masters, Mickelson shot rounds of 70-68-67-69 to finish tied for second with Justin Rose, four shots behind champion Jordan Spieth. The second-place finish was Mickelson's tenth such finish in a major, placing him second all time only to Jack Nicklaus in that
