Phil Mickelson shoots 3-under 69 | Round 1 | Rocket Mortgage | 2021

In the opening round of the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic, Phil Mickelson carded a 3-under 69, placing him six strokes off the lead heading into Friday.


The PGA TOUR heads back to Detroit for the third edition of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. The tournament was one of the first in the PGA TOUR’s return to golf in 2020 and saw Bryson DeChambeau win by three shots over Matthew Wolff. The reigning champion returns and will be hoping to find some form, as he has not recorded a top-10 finish since the Wells Fargo Championship in early May. After two months away from golf and then a T15 finish at the U.S. Open, Wolff will be looking to go a step further this year and claim his first title since 2019. Meanwhile, reigning PGA Championship winner Phil Mickelson will make his tournament debut, marking his first start in Michigan since 2008. Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama will play for the third year in a row as 13 major champions, including Jason Day who held the 36-hole lead at the Travelers Championship, are set to battle it out.

There needs to be a choke collar that delivers an increasingly stronger shock each time a dude yells, "get in the hole!"

I'm afraid the world is evolving in the financial sector and some people are still out of clue, leaving out on costly opportunities to financial freedom.

[StanTheMan]

Hes like a Fine Wine only getting Better with Age

[noControl]

WIll be pretty funny if he wins after saying he won't come back because an unrelated reporter was mean to him.

[chadsanders]

I love some Phil, wish he would get a new driver and putter. Within 200 yards he is deadly....

[schallb]

read phil might not play here any more because of some news article some one wrote about a bet Phil made years ago . So what . You'd think he'd be more embarrassed more about the insider trading he did, and had to give the money ( 1 million ) back, unlike Martha Steward who had to serve 5 months in jail for her 250, 000 dollar insider trading. She too had to pay it back. Phil got to play golf and received no jail time.

Phil is awesome but it's hard to watch these clips with the asinine "You're my boy." and "It's in the hole" comments constantly spewing forth from the drunken spectators.

[severeaux]

What kind of terrible person hits left handed……. Me… I’m that person, we love you Phil!
