We talked about this five years ago, that the next generation of players was going to be an athlete who can take advantage of the technology. They hit bombs, but they can also chip and putt. Basically, long-drive guys who can play. That's what we're seeing in J.B. Holmes and Bubba Watson and Villegas, they have great touches with wedges and putting and short game. They are very difficult to beat.
More Quotes from Phil Mickelson:
I love the golf course. I'm very sad that we're not playing here anymore. I love coming out here. It brings back so many great memories not only the (Mercedes Championships) wins in '94 and '98, but the experience of spending the day with my dad, spending the day with my friends, coming out and watching guys play, looking from the outside of the ropes, looking in.Phil Mickelson
I actually have been hitting good shots. I'm playing OK. I hit a couple of shots I was lucky to get away with. I kept it in play with one or two exceptions, and I was able to make a couple birdies coming in.
Phil Mickelson
There was a shot where I could have hit 3-wood underneath the tree limbs and got it right down by the green. But if it doesn't come off, I'm looking at 6. There's an example of saving maybe a quarter of a shot. I could have made 4, maybe 5 at the worst. I didn't bring a 6 or 7 into play.
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.
Phil Mickelson
I'm actually going to go get a workout in, and try to build up some stamina for tomorrow.
Phil Mickelson
As much as I want to be a part of the history of this tournament and a part of the history of the great game of golf, it's not something I dwell on. I really enjoy the challenges that each major presents.
