British Open organisers the R&A have hinted a similar incident to the Phil Mickelson controversy from last month's U.S. Open could lead to disqualification in golf's oldest major at Carnoustie this week. The 48-year-old American was out of title contention when he deliberately prevented his ball from rolling off the 13th green at Shinnecock Hills by running after it and hitting it back towards the hole. "I have talked to Phil since he's been here this week," R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers told reporters on Wednesday.
