PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Phil Mickelson isn’t atop the leaderboard at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but he’s still pretty much where he wants to be.
He’s on his way to back-to-back days at Pebble Beach Golf Links with a weekend chance to win this event for a record sixth time.
Despite a closing bogey Friday on the Monterey Peninsula course, Mickelson posted a 7-under 64 to move into third place, three shots behind Nick Taylor.
How confident is he feeling about his game?
He shot that 64 thinking it wasn’t his best effort.
“Average at best,” he said.
