In June 2020, more than a year after the first meeting and additional outcries from Richardson, the office launched a formal investigation and later that year the university declined to renew her contract.

The victory came one week after Mickelson accepted a special exemption into the U.S. Open because, at No. 115 in the world and winless the last two years, he no longer was exempt from qualifying. He had not finished in the top 20 in his last 17 tournaments over nearly nine months. He worried that he was no longer able to keep his focus over 18 holes.
“The effort that we’ve had for April and May, we didn’t change anything and that’s encouraging,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said of the series. “Didn’t get overawed by the moment. That’s the point, we were ourselves. Had a real chance to win two. We should have won one, at least, if there was justice, but their team did better than we did three times.”
