Phil Mickelson hunting 45th PGA Tour win in first start since turning 50

Don’t tell the guy wearing the aviator sunglasses, doing the intermittent fasting, drinking the special coffee and looking thinner than he has since the 1990s that it’s time for the senior circuit.

A newly 50-year-old Phil Mickelson is eyeing his 45th PGA Tour title.

Coming off rounds of 64-63, Mickelson heads into the weekend at the Travelers Championship the outright leader at 13 under par.

After an early bogey at the second, his only dropped shot Friday, he carded eight birdies, including five on his back nine, to take a one-shot advantage over Will Gordon and Mac Hughes through 36 holes.
