PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Phil Mickelson ran out of gas.He sputtered and wheezed to the finish line Thursday at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course, posting a 7-over-par 79, his worst score at The Players in almost two decades, since he opened with an 83 in 2000.I knew this was going to be an issue, said Mickelson, who turns 48 next month. I said it Sunday at Wells Fargo. I was worried about energy this week. And I just kind of ran out at the end.Mickelson did talk about it Sunday at Quail Hollow, worrying out loud that the way he grinded out a T-5 finish on a tough course might take a toll playing another tough course this week. He also talked about health issues last fall, how he was hopeful a doctor he was working with could help him deal with the drain of energy he was struggling with through the year. It was the same doctor who has helped him since he was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in 2010.Its been frustrating to not be able to practice or visualize or see a shot or have that energy level, he said last September.
