No tee party for Mickelson

Despite struggling off the tee, Phil Mickelson enjoyed a good start at the Barclays Singapore Open today – carding a three under-par 68 to share second spot midway through the opening round.

Strong iron play saw the 37-year-old pick up six birdies to leave him two strokes behind clubhouse leader Gavin Flint of Australia after the morning session at Sentosa Golf Club’s Serapong Course.
