Phil Mickelson is currently one of the most controversial players in the golf community. The six-time major winner has tons of records under his name. Mickelson is a former PGA Tour player who recently started playing in the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
Like Phil Mickelson, many other players also joined the Saudi-backed league, leaving their PGA careers behind. Some players called it a business decision, while others said they wanted to play less golf. However, “Lefty” was one of the initial players to join the LIV Tour. The golfer’s shots have been getting fan reactions all over the internet.

Mickelson kept smiling throughout his round and accompanied that smile with his trademark thumbs-up sign. He remained the same on Friday even after a 75 for the second time consecutively, tied for 36th.
