WASTE MANAGEMENT PHOENIX OPEN


February 2, 2017


Phil Mickelson


Scottsdale, Arizona

Q. Looked like a pretty clean scorecard.
PHIL MICKELSON: Yeah, I did make a bogey, but I didn't make any birdies on the back and take advantage of some opportunities. I didn't drive it the last six holes very well, and that really hurt me from having birdie opportunities on the two par-5s.

I missed a number of short birdies from 15 feet and less on the front, but then I made two long ones on 8 and 9. So it was a very unusual round.

I'll take 3-under. I've got to get it a little bit better off the tee tomorrow. My iron play has been pretty good, so I should be able to make some birdies if I get the ball in play.

Q. How are you feeling, this being your third week in a row?
PHIL MICKELSON: Healthy-wise I feel pretty good now. I feel pretty much 100% health-wise.

I have been able to work out at a more normal right. I feel pretty good.

Q. What are you looking to improve upon tomorrow?
PHIL MICKELSON: Yeah, I've got to drive it a little bit better. I also need to make that critical area of about 10 to 20 feet, those birdie opportunities I need to capitalize on. I missed a number of those today, and those are the ones that can really propel the round.
