SOUTHPORT (Reuters) - Phil Mickelson shrugged off the disappointment of missing the cut for the first time at the Royal Birkdale course where he made his British Open debut in 1991.

The 47-year-old American posted a 77 on Friday, which left him 10-over-par after his first-round 73 and heading home for the first time in four outings at Southport.
