Sutton 'amused' by Mickelson's comments about 2004 Ryder Cup

Hal Sutton thinks it's a bit funny that, ahead of the 2016 Ryder Cup, Phil Mickelson's still talking about 2004.

Mickelson took unveiled shots at Sutton on Wednesday, blaming the 2004 U.S. captain for his failed partnership with Tiger Woods, adding Sutton put the team in a position to fail.

"I find it amusing that that's an issue at the 2016 Ryder Cup," Sutton said, according to ESPN's Bog Harig. "I think Phil better get his mind on what he needs to have it on this week instead of on something that happened 10 years ago."

Sutton had a perfect one-liner about the failed Woods and Mickelson:

"They didn't beat anybody. It couldn't be their fault," Sutton said. "It had to be Hal Sutton's fault. It had to be.

"I took the blame for everybody," he added. "Nobody played good that week. It's tough on a captain when people don't play well. It's hard to beat anybody."
