Safeway Open 2nd Round 2018

and quite a 1st round for PHIL

Wow!!

-7 and while he made a ton of putts he slow played the final two par fives. He is up early this morning and I hope he is well rested!!

Let's go PHIL

Birdie + 2 bogies, but 7 foot putt for a birdie....let's do it!!

Phil, get a haircut, it's out of control! Geesh, missed birdie, par.

Phil tied for lead, -10 with final par-5 coming up!!


Also, his comments on the Ryder Cup course setup:

The most surprising part about Phil Mickelson criticizing the setup of Le Golf National for the 2018 Ryder Cup is that it took this long. Mickelson lost both his matches in the biennial event — badly — but waited until a strong opening round in Napa on Thursday to express his distaste for what he called "unplayable" rough in France.

"The fact is they had brutal rough, almost unplayable, and it's not the way I play," Mickelson told reporters following a first-round 65 at the Safeway Classic, the first event of the 2018-'19 PGA Tour season. "I don't play like that. And here I can miss the fairways, i can get shots out of the rough up on the green and it's playable."

But Mickelson, never known to shy away from offering his opinion, didn't stop there.

"And I'm 48. I'm not going to play tournaments with rough like that anymore, it's a waste of my time. I'm going to play courses that are playable and that I can play aggressive, attacking, make a lot of birdies, style of golf I like to play."

I agree he should pace himself. He played a lot this year and struggled at the end. He paid his dues and has done plenty for the tour. Pick and choose wisely and hopefully snag some victories.
