Last year, the player bid a final goodbye to the Augusta National Golf Club, but thankfully he returned. And he returned with a blast. Mickelson finished behind only Nick Faldo and Greg Norman in 1996. It was the year he initially shot his career-low 65 at Augusta National.

Mickelson was on cloud nine and “had so much fun” at Augusta. Lefty said, “To come out today and play the way I did and hit the shots when I needed, it’s so much fun. I’m grateful to be a part of this tournament and to be here competing and then to play well. It means a lot.”

He believes that he has been hitting these types of quality shots always. But he was not as focused as he should have been. He confessed that he had made many mistakes. “Kind of like you saw on Thursday, and that cost me a bunch of strokes.”
