ATLANTA (AP) -- Phil Mickelson is making another equipment change ahead of the Ryder Cup, this one measured in inches.
Mickelson played a practice round at Hazeltine National on Monday and realized he would need a different driver to handle a course that measures 7,628 yards on the card. So he went back to a longer driver for the Tour Championship after using a driver with a shaft that is 1 1/2 inches shorter than normal for him.
Now if he can just hit the fairway.
Mickelson hit only one fairway in the opening round at East Lake, and improved to five fairways Friday.
