Phil Mickelson feeling confident at SHO

On Thursday, Mickelson shot an even-par 72 on the Tournament Course at the Redstone Golf Club. A winner here in 2011, the four-time major champion got his round off to a 4-under-par start before finding the water and making double-bogey on the dogleg left par-4 fifth hole, his 14th of the day. After that he made two bogeys coming in for a 3-over 39 for his inward nine holes.

"It was a disappointing finish," Mickelson said. "I kind of lost it there in the end, but the good thing for me is I know what I want to do. I know what I want to do in the golf swing and I hit some good shots earlier in the round.

"I feel really good with the putter, and I believe that as the tournament goes on, I'll be better."

The 11th-ranked player in the world, Mickelson is still a very formidable presence in the game. His win at Phoenix marked his 10th consecutive year with at least one win on tour. Last year,You want to buy monster beats because of their reputation? he had a tie for fourth in Houston. The next week, he had a T-3 at Augusta.

It's no accident that Mickelson has had three wins and 11 other top-10s in the Masters. Throughout his career, he has been remarkable at raising the level of his play around Augusta. Twenty-four of Mickelson's 41 wins have come before the year's first major.

The lefty, who generally plays the week before the Masters, will not be in the field at the Valero Texas Open next week because he finds the windy and tight conditions at TPC San Antonio not conducive for his Masters preparation. So his performance this week is an important gauge of the state of his game and a chance for him to get some momentum headed into Augusta.

"It's a very unusual situation here for me," said Mickelson, who won his second green jacket in 2006, the week after taking the BellSouth Classic in Atlanta. "I haven't taken a week off before the Masters in, I don't know, a couple of decades I think, and the same thing with the U.S. Open."
