SPRINGFIELD, New Jersey, July 30 (Reuters) - Phil Mickelson thinks a major championship record low round will be shot at Baltusrol Golf Club over the last two rounds of the PGA Championship and that someone might take it as low as 61.
Unheralded Robert Streb became the 28th player to match the record low of 63 at a major in Friday's second round on the rain-softened, par-70 layout to share the midway lead with fellow American Jimmy Walker at nine-under.
Mickelson shot 63 in the opening round of the British Open two weeks ago at Royal Troon, and Big Lefty was beaten in a sensational final-round duel there by Sweden's Henrik Stenson, who fired his own 63.
