Travelers Round 1 Recap: 50-year-old Phil Mickelson cards a 64 (6/25)

Greg DuCharme and Mark Immelman are on the podcast to breakdown today’s action from the Travelers Championship. Mackenzie Hughes was on 59 watch in the morning wave. What are the odds Hughes holds on to this lead through the rest of the week (1:14)? Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau carded some low rounds together on Thursday. Phil stood out by shooting a 6-under 64 in his first round as a 50-year-old. Is this a sign that Lefty can still keep up with the kids on the PGA Tour (8:45)? We wrap by discussing Sergio Garcia’s comments today about the PGA Tour’s handling of recent COVID cases. Does Sergio have a leg to stand on when he says people who didn’t expect cases were living in ‘la la land’ (18:40)?
