U.S. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said the world’s top golf circuit is committed to its mobile-phone policy after Phil Mickelson and other players complained about excessive use during last week’s Memorial Tournament in Ohio.
Mickelson left the Jack Nicklaus-hosted event following the first round after texting Finchem from the sixth fairway during play to complain about the lack of control of phone use by fans, said T.R. Reinman, a spokesman for the player, confirming an Associated Press report.
