Phil Mickelson seeks history sixteen years after winning the PGA Championship title. The golfing legend has a two-shot lead Friday. However, he could have a better score if he didn’t bogey three of the last six holes.
Mickelson finished five-under-par to enjoy a two-shot lead. Despite the tough ending, he said that he had fun on the golf course. According to sportsbook software reports, Mickelson learned he was the leader midway through his press conference.
Branden Grace had a double bogey to give Mickelson the solo lead as per sports betting software sources. Mickelson hopes that the same thing would happen on Sunday. Mickelson added that there are many works to do to win the title.
Phil Mickelson Seeks History
Phil Mickelson is playing well and having fun on the course. According to pay per head reviews, he would be the oldest winner of a major if he wins the PGA Championships on Sunday. At present, Julius Boros achieved the record at 48 years old. Jack Nicklaus was 46 years old when he won his last major.
Mickelson’s last major win was the Open Championship in 2013. Since then, he has won two PGA Tour events. Also, he won two PGA Tour Champions in 2020. Mickelson said that he worked on his focus issues in the last couple of weeks.
The 50-year-old golfer said he made some progress in improving his focus. He would try to play 36 to 45 holes in a day and focus on every shot. That way, it wouldn’t feel too much when he plays 18 holes.
Mickelson added that he tried to prolong his focus time that he ended up meditating. Also, he is using his mind as a muscle. He expanded his brain as he got older. However, it has a more challenging time to maintain a sharp focus and see the shot.
