SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- If you thought two weeks was enough time for Phil Mickelson to get over his second-place finish in the British Open duel with Henrik Stenson, guess again.Lefty said its going to take a long time to get over the British Open, probably longer than any of his other excruciating losses in a major.The hurt and disappointment wasnt because Mickelson missed out on either his sixth major or his first win since the 2013 British Open. This was the first time the 46-year-old Mickelson played his best, and it wasnt good enough.The 40-year-old Stenson won his first major with a record-shattering 20-under total. Mickelsons 267 final total would have won every previous British Open except in 1993, when Greg Norman shot 267 at Royal St. Georges.I think its one of those things where Ill look back over time and my disappointment will probably increase, because I think its the first time in my career that I have played to that level of golf and not had it be enough to win a tournament, Mickelson said at a practice to prepare for the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club. Thats a disappointing thing because I would have loved to have added another claret jug.Jordan Spieth, who played a practice round with Michelson on Tuesday, walked over to his playing partner Tuesday and told him it was fun to watch him, and that he was unlucky not to win.And thats when he said, `Hey, Ive been on that side of things (lately), Masters in `15, and Troon even more so two weeks ago, Spieth said. But then hes seen himself on the other side of things where no one is running away with it and he wins in a close battle or he wins by a lot, whether its in a major or regular tour event.Mickelson believes he will win again. He feels his game is improving, his swing is back and he likes the course. He validated his first major -- the 2004 Masters -- by capturing the 2005 PGA here with a 72nd hole birdie.His goal this week is to play as well as he did at Troon.I dont believe that there is a small window, Mickelson said of winning again. I think theres a really big window of opportunity to add to my resume, to continue to compete in big events, for the simple reason that the feel and sensitivity of hitting shots; the ability to play golf courses a certain way, to visualize, to make birdies, to pull shots off, that has not diminished.Mickelson said the key at Baltusrol is to drive the ball straight and putt well on greens that have a lot of contours.Theres a lot of little rolls and knolls, said Mickelson, noting the greens are going to roll a lot faster than Troon. You can see multiple lines and only one of them is correct, and its sometimes hard to see.What many people would like to see would be another Mickelson-Stenson showdown.Stenson said he has not had a chance to talk with Mickelson since the British Open.Its one of those things, it doesnt really strike you when youre in the middle of it, Stenson said But afterward, with the 63 and the 20-under and the way we played, we pushed each other to the limit, both of us, for 36 holes more or less, and trading punches and blows all the way around the golf course for two days. That certainly is what made us play so well. We both wanted it badly and we performed so well because of each other.---This story has been corrected to say that Phil Mickelson shot 267 at this years British Open, not 265. Tom Brady Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Stephon Gilmore Jersey . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. http://www.patriotsauthenticshop.com/Patriots-James-White-Draft-Jersey/ . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. Kenny Britt Jersey . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. Elandon Roberts Jersey . Their experience showed Tuesday as the No. 10 Badgers blunted a Saint Louis surge to win 63-57 and advance to face West Virginia in Wednesdays finals of the Cancun Challenge. PORTLAND, Ore. -- Damian Lillard thinks his Portland Trail Blazers lack that killer instinct to put away games when they should.Lillard had 36 points and CJ McCollum scored 31 to lead Portland past the Sacramento Kings 122-120 in overtime Friday night.The victory could have come easier, though. The Blazers were up 106-101 with 1:19 to go in regulation, yet nearly let this one slip away.It comes down to just manning up, Lillard said.Still, hell take the win after the teams traded the lead over the final 2 1/2 minutes in the extra period.Meyers Leonard made two free throws to give Portland a 121-120 edge with 32 seconds remaining, and Rudy Gay missed a jumper at the other end.Allen Crabbe hit one of two foul shots for the Trail Blazers with 14.3 seconds left, giving the Kings another opportunity. DeMarcus Cousins missed a jumper and Gay was off target on a 16-foot fadeaway at the buzzer, sealing Portlands seventh straight victory over Sacramento.Its just having that killer instinct and being able to lock in for longer spans of time, Lillard said about what the Blazers are missing 10 games into the season.Portland coach Terry Stotts agreed: I think weve played well in spots. Our goal is to play well for longer periods.Cousins led Sacramento with 33 points. Gay had 29 points and 14 rebounds for the Kings, who were coming off a 101-91 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers the night before.McCollums 3-pointer with 1:23 left in overtime gave Portland a 117-115 lead before Gays three-point play put Sacramento back ahead.McCollum added a 19-footer to put Portland in front, but a loose ball foul on the Blazers gave Sacramentos Darren Collison two free throws. He made both, giving the Kings a 120-119 lead with 33.8 seconds left.Cousins said Sacramentos issues have mirrored Lillards assessment of his own team.Throughout this whole season weve shown flashes of who we can be, but weve got to get past that stage of showing flashes and be the team that we want to be, Cousins said.Leonard made his first start of the season for the Blazers, who were without forward Al-Farouq Aminu for the second straight game because of a left calf injury.Aminu started the first eight games for the Blazers, averaging 6.4 points and 6.6 rebounds before he was hurt Tuesday nnight early in Portlands 124-121 victory over Phoenix.ddddddddddddAddressing the media before Friday nights game, Stotts said Aminu would be re-evaluated after two weeks.Leonards thunderous dunk put the Blazers up 32-27 late in the first quarter, and they led by 12 en route to a 62-57 advantage at the break. McCollum led all scorers at halftime with 16 points.Cousins fadeaway in the third quarter tied the game at 68, and Gay hit a 3-pointer to put the Kings in front.

Crabbes jumper put Portland in front before Lillard hit another 3 to make it 99-95.Cousins 3-pointer pulled the Kings to 106-104 with less than a minute to go in regulation, and his layup tied it with 9.7 seconds left. Lillards 3-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark, sending the game to overtime.Portland was coming off a 111-80 loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.THE TAKEAWAYKings: Collison returned to the Kings this week after an eight-game suspension to start the season. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery after an incident at his Sacramento-area home in May.Trail Blazers: Leonard and Cousins got into it in the first quarter and received offsetting technicals. Cousins has been mentioned in numerous trade rumors of late, including some involving the Blazers. ... Portland is 5-0 when Lillard and McCollum both score at least 30 points.BLOWING THE WHISTLECousins cant understand why hes not getting foul calls.I dont understand it, he said. I dont know what I have to do. I just dont understand it. I have to play through a lot. Im not really rewarded for it, but Im just trying to stay mentally strong through it.PERFECT 10Lillard has 306 points, most by a Trail Blazers player in the opening 10 games of a season. Hes also the first to score 30 or more points six times in the first 10 games of a season.UP NEXTKings: Sacramento hosts San Antonio next Wednesday.Trail Blazers: Portland hosts the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.
