Phil Mickelson ties PGA Tour Champions scoring record in debut win
Phil Mickelson made the senior tour look like child’s play.
With another stellar round Wednesday, Mickelson polished off a wire-to-wire victory Wednesday at the Charles Schwab Series at Ozarks National. Mickelson, who won by four, became the 20th player to win in his PGA Tour Champions debut.
Mickelson’s 191 total for the 54-hole event tied the lowest in tour history. At 22 under par, he finished four shots clear of Tim Petrovic.
Mickelson seemed destined to break the 54-hole scoring record until he played his last eight holes in 1 over. The 191 total was previously shot by five players, most recently Rocco Mediate in 2013.
