LAS VEGAS – Phil Mickelson wasn’t overly impressed with his play Friday, backing up an opening 65 with a second-round 69.

But unlike his play at other events this year, Friday's round never got out of hand.

Even though he feels like he left shots out on the course, he’s still just four off the pace through 36 holes at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

“I'm excited to make a run and go have an opportunity tomorrow to make a run,” he said.
