I've been working hard on the shots that are required over here. I also studied the course and how to play it. I love this tournament, I just haven't played well here in the past. It's disappointing to fall short here but it's also very encouraging to know that I'm able to contend in this championship.
More Quotes from Phil Mickelson:
The thing I was most proud of about today's round was that on this course everybody is going to make mistakes, but sometimes it's hard to forget about it and let it go. After I made a double on 1, I was able to be patient and let it go and came back with birdies on 3 and 5. When I bogeyed 6, I was able to let it go and come back with a birdie on 8. I was able to let go of some bad shots and forget about it and move on.Phil Mickelson
It was fun. I felt like I had pretty good control. I hit some good shots. I seem to roll them in today. I'm optimistic for the next few days.

To hold all four majors incredible. That's just one of the most incredible feats in the game. That and Bobby Jones' Grand Slam and Ben Hogan in '53 winning three of the four are probably the greatest feats in golf.

I certainly can't get it there in two, so I'm going to play it as a three-shotter. That's a very tough hole, and guys can have a lot of problems if you miss the fairway there.

I played far from perfect, but I ended up at 2-under, which I would have gladly taken at the start of the day. We had perfect conditions. I'm concerned about (today's round) with the wind.

So to be within four shots, within striking distance, I'm excited about that and I'm looking forward to the weekend.
