Mickleson did an interview after finishing and was talking about equipment and ball changes for this tournament. Apparently had his driver spinning at 2900 or something. May be all golf nerd stuff but he did talk about how he was thinking about keeping in play rather than trying to overpower the course.Liv in the Mornings - PGAT in the Evenings#perfect
This might sound a bit odd.
Watching Phil Mickelson in the Grant Horvat videos, I noticed something interesting—he was playing really well and hitting his driver surprisingly straight, which has been his Achilles heel for years.
Now, of course, this isn’t tournament golf, but he did mention a new driver that he said is making a big difference.
To my knowledge, he hasn’t really contended in any LIV events so far, with his best recent result being T2 at The Masters since joining Liv.
But now, sitting T4 in Hong Kong, could there still be life in the old dog yet?
Uihlein however was remiscent of a young Mickleson. Punching out from bushes, bouncing off trees on his way to a -6 round. Whereas Casey looked in control and plotted his way around. Laying up short of stream whilst Uihlein made the 290-310 carry.
Fancy Uihlein's luck to run out tomorrow although he knows the course well. Probably between Garcia and Casey.
Wonder what Surrat found on the range after a +5 round, to shoot -8 the next day!
