Mickelson acknowledged Wednesday that his failure to overcome British Green is at the root of the problem.
"The biggest reason is green, said the sixth-ranked Mickelson."I have not putted well. The grass is a bit more coarse and somewhat thicker, has a little more power, and you must putt with smaller pause and more aggression is what I have come to find.
"I will try to do it this week and next week and see if that does not tackle some of the issues I've had to put with TaylorMade-adidas R9 Max Irons here."
With the British Open starting at Royal St. George's in Southeast England next week, Mickelson also event Warmup in Scotland to try new strategies in his famous card game.

-It is something that I really start to enjoy the challenge of success here, "said 41-year-old Mickelson. "In the Scottish Open and British Open means a lot to me because it is a real challenge for me to overcome obstacles with TaylorMade-adidas R9 Max irons. I play always high through the air. Run it so that you can play along the ground, holding the ball under control, well by Crosswinds, the challenges I have embraced these past few years.
"There is only one year as I played with TaylorMade-adidas R9 Max Irons, 2004, where I was a shot of the playoffs. I have not performed to the level that I have a week off this week at States. I want to change this and I am planning on this. "
