Big Phil misses Tour-equalling record by a shot

Phil Mickelson shot a first round 60 at 11 under par at the Phoenix Open to miss equalling the PGA Tour record by a single shot last night.

The 42-year-old hit seven birdies in his first nine holes, in a career-high haul of 11 overall.

He needed a birdie at the 18th to equal the record, but his putt went marginally wide of the target.
