The narrative is sitting there: Phil Mickelson, fresh off his PGA Championship win, returns to a place where he grew up playing and won three times in search of that elusive U.S. Open. One problem: He... doesn't love this Torrey Pines.

Phil Mickelson, who turns 51 on Wednesday, said he spent the last week working on his game at Torrey Pines as he prepares to try to win an elusive U.S. Open title in his hometown.

Phil Mickelson just won the PGA Championship, becoming the oldest major champion ever. But there remains one missing piece: He has never won the U.S. Open. He's come close often, only to watch someone... else hold the trophy.
