  • Phil Mickelson ( -10)
    ROUND 1 INTERVIEW August 24, 2020 PHIL MICKELSON ( -10) Q. Here with Phil Mickelson. Phil, a lot of anticipation starting the day. Walk us through going to that first tee making your debut on the PGA TOUR Champions. PHIL MICKELSON: It's a lot of fun. It is a fun environment and it's fun for me to see a lot of the guys that I grew up watching play and played with for a number of years on the PGA TOUR, played Ryder Cups and Presidents Cups with a lot of the guys here. So the atmosphere, environment here is really cool for me to be a part of. I was a little nervous, too, because I wanted to come out and play well, and I felt like I was playing really well, Billy Ray. I went into Boston last week, I shot 61-63, 4 back home and I was like ready to play. Then I get there and I shoot 3 over and it just threw me off. So I wanted to keep playing because I felt like I was playing well. So to have the opportunity to play in these events and this one in particular was really special and I'm very appreciative of that. Q. You talk about nerVes. You come in here as the faVorite. Were you more relaxed or more nerVous because you came in the odds faVorite here? PHIL MICKELSON: I didn't think about that. I just was trying to figure out a way to play this golf course smartly because although there's no rough, it's fairway and it's junk.
