Phil Mickelson’s US Open frustration boiled over on the ninth hole after he hit his second shot way right on Thursday.

An NBC camera caught a defeated Mickelson muttering, “I am so sick of this” after a wayward shot landed on the first tee at Winged Foot.

Mickelson did recover to record a par on the hole.

That shot came from the fairway, but it was a rare approach from there as Mickelson struggled with his driving accuracy throughout the round.

Mickelson, 50, did open his day with back-to-back birdies before three straight bogeys.

But it just got worse from there for Mickelson, who was returning to the site of his greatest US Open disappointment?
