Q. Your first round with Michael today. How was is playing with him in competition?
PHIL MICKELSON: It was awesome. We had a lot of fun, and we both played very well, and we're pushing each other to keep making birdies, so we kept it going, and gosh, he shot 8-under and just -- you could see his firepower, see what a talented player he is. I tried to keep up. I got off to a good start. I fell one shy of him today. He shot 8, I shot 7-under, and it was really a fun day.
Q. How does it feel to be back in front of crowds like this?
PHIL MICKELSON: It's just fun to be back playing. I really missed it. I really missed it. I'm glad I'm here. I wish I played better the first day, but I'm really having fun. It's just fun to be back playing.
