LOS ANGELES (AP)—Phil Mickelson is ready to get back to golf.

Mickelson goes for an unprecedented third straight victory at Riviera when the Northern Trust Open gets under way on Thursday. Of the 14 clubs in his bag, none will be a Ping Eye2 wedge that put him in the spotlight and eventually at the lectern.

“How do you think that went?” Mickelson said during his pro-am round.

He was talking about his interview hours earlier, in which he shifted his angst from Scott McCarron’s accusation of “cheating” to the USGA for its “ridiculous” manner of handling the new rule on grooves.
