Golf-Mickelson withdraws from San Diego event due to back pain
Jan 25 (Reuters) - Phil Mickelson has withdrawn from the Farmers Insurance Open after the second round due to muscle pain in his back, the PGA said in a report on its website. San Diego native Mickelson carded a one-over 73 on the South Course at Torrey Pines just outside his hometown to finish on two-under for the tournament, eight adrift of leader Jordan Spieth, but complained of discomfort for the second day in a row. The left-hander's management company confirmed his decision in a statement late on Friday evening, the report said. (Reporting by Sudipto Ganguly; Editing by John O'Brien)
