Phil Mickelson looking for ‘hot round’ Saturday in Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Even after a quintessential “Lefty” day at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, Phil Mickelson has enough history around TPC Southwind to know that he’s still just one good round away from something special.

Before the Memphis event was given the World Golf Championship upgrade, it was a regular stop for Mickelson, who has two runner-up finishes at the St. Jude Classic and has six top-25 finishes in eight starts. When he played his first eight holes on Friday in 3 over par, he didn’t panic.

“I got off to a rough start,” Mickelson said.
