“#Phil Mickelson made 18 pars in a round for first time in his career<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Phil Mickelson has had a lot of historic moments in his career, but this latest feat came Friday in The American Express in La Quinta, Calif. \u2014 on a day he missed the cut.<\/p>\n

Mickelson, who has won five majors and 44 PGA Tour events in his illustrious career, made 18 pars for the first time in his 2,201 rounds on the PGA Tour. <\/p>\n

The 50-year-old Mickelson, who is the tournament\u2019s host, finished his two rounds at 2 over, but making 18 pars felt encouraging and startling to the veteran.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s surprising, because I really try to hit fairways and center of the greens and just make easy pars,\u201d Mickelson told reporters after his round. \u201cFor that to be the first time, it\u2019s really shocking. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of good things to take from it \u2014 the way I\u2019m driving the ball, my iron play. There\u2019s a lot of positives. If you look at the scorecard, it\u2019s pathetic. I\u2019m not denying that. But I think that it\u2019s a little bit closer than it looks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sungjae Im, who shot a 65 on Friday, holds a one stroke lead over five golfers entering Saturday\u2019s third round.<\/p>\n

As for Mickelson, he often has a hard time finding fairways consistently, but didn\u2019t have to scramble for many pars in the round. He hit 10 of 14 fairways and 13 of 18 greens in regulation, but he took 30 putts on Friday and finished 123rd in strokes gained putting for the week<\/p>\n

This is the start of four \u2014 and possibly five \u2014 consecutive tournaments for Mickelson, who will tee it up next week in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. <\/p>\n
