After determining the course of treatment for his wife Amy’s breast cancer, Phil Mickelson has decided to return to the course for the St. Jude Invitational June 11.  He will use the tournament as a tune-up for the US Open the following week.  After that, his schedule is still uncertain.

With the Russian property giant Inteko pulling out of the title sponsorship role, the organizers of the Russian Open decided to cancel the event.  They were left $990,000 short of their prize money goal.  Inteko’s withdrawal came out of th blue and organizers didn’t have enough time to find a replacement sponsor.  The tournament is expected to be held again in 2010.
