Phil Mickelson shoots 66 to share Furyk & Friends lead with Matt Gogel

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Phil Mickelson shot a 6-under 66 on Friday for a share of the first-round lead with Matt Gogel in the PGA Tour Champions' Constellation Furyk & Friends Invitational.

Trying to win for the third time in four career starts on the 50-and-over tour, Mickelson had seven birdies and a bogey at Donald Ross-designed Timuquana Country Club in the round interrupted by a rain delay.

"Because of the rain, a little bit of some balls that would plug or maybe get a little mud, but it was really in great shape," Mickelson said.
