Where in the world is Phil Mickelson's plane?
To say that the man is cutting it a little close is the understatement of the day before the start of the U.S. Open.
Phil Mickelson apparently wants to savor every last second of preparation for this week's U.S Open some 2,745 miles away from Merion Golf Club at his home in Southern California.
In other words, he isn't real anxious to get to Philadelphia.
How close is Mickelson cutting it?
According to USA Today, Mickelson's private jet will be leaving Carlsbad, Calif., at 8:30 pm PDT (11:30 pm EDT) on Wednesday night and arriving in Philadelphia at 4:30 am.
His tee time at Merion on Thursday is 7:11 am.
That will leave him just enough time to shower, shake off the jet lag, and whack a few balls before competing alongside Steve Stricker and Keegan Bradley.
You know, that's if Mickelson didn't already shower his swanky $60 million Gulfstream before landing.
No word on if Lefty's got a putting surface on-board, too.
Mickelson, who has never won a U.S. Open in 22 starts, returned to the San Diego area on Monday to attend his daughter's 8th grade graduation and practice in fair weather.
Crossing the country in the skies won't be fun with this weather, as a line of showers - ahead of Thursday's severe storms - are supposed to hit Philadelphia around 4 o'clock in the morning. That could make for an interesting scramble out to the Main Line.
Players who miss their tee times are automatically disqualified from competing in the U.S. Open. Seve Ballesteros showed up seven minutes late for his tee time at the beginning of the second round at the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol. Ballesteros was the favorite that week.
The last time a PGA player was disqualified from a tournament for missing a tee time was Jim Furyk at the 2010 Barclays pro-am, when he arrived at the course for a 7:30 am shotgun start at 7:35.
Furyk's gaffe, though, was due to a power failure in his hotel room - and not sheer hubris.
