Phil Mickelson Struggles in British Open Tuneup

Scott Hend and Felipe Aguilar made it through blustery conditions and shot three-under-par 69 to share the lead Thursday after the first round of the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart in Inverness.

The five-time major champion Phil Mickelson was not so fortunate. Despite winning the last time the Scottish Open was held in Inverness, he struggled to make putts and took three bogeys on par 5s on his way to a 76. His next task will be making the cut.
