Mickelson plays on amid news of U.S. probe into possible insider trading

(Updates throughout with Mickelson at Memorial Tournament) By Ben Everill DUBLIN, Ohio, May 31 (Reuters) - If golf star Phil Mickelson is concerned by a federal probe into possible insider trading involving him, billionaire investor Carl Icahn and Las Vegas gambler William Walters, he didn't show it on Saturday. As he hit a few practice balls before his round at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, Mickelson was in a light-hearted exchange with fellow American golfer Robert Garrigus. "It's been an interesting evening," Mickelson replied, adding with a laugh, "I don't have much to say about it." Garrigus jokingly intimated that talking with Mickelson could get him into trouble, saying he was "not sure I want to talk to you now." On Friday night, a source familiar with the matter said the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating possible insider trading involving Icahn, Mickelson and Walters. I have cooperated with the government in this investigation and will continue to do so." "I wish I could fully discuss this matter, but under the current circumstances it's just not possible," the statement said.
