Phil Mickelson shoots bogey-free 64 in first round at age 50

At least through one round, Phil Mickelson has kept Father Time at bay.

Making his first PGA Tour start since celebrating his 50th birthday, Mickelson flashed some vintage form with a bogey-free, 6-under 64 to open the Travelers Championship. Lefty played in a featured group alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy, with the trio combining for one bogey while shooting 18 under par.

"I love what I do. I love my job. I love trying to play and compete, and I really enjoy playing with guys like Rory and Bryson who are just tremendous talents and trying to compete with those guys," Mickelson said.
