PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Phil Mickelson reminded his fellow PGA Tour pros Saturday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am that “hitting bombs” isn’t all he can still do at 49 years old.
He showed the kind of magic around the greens that has long been a staple in his success.
“I had a pretty good day with my short game,” Mickelson said.
He only hit nine greens in regulation on a cold, windy day at Pebble Beach Golf Links but scrambled to a 5-under-par 67 to give himself a chance to win a record sixth AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
