Teased with 59, Mickelson falls short of PGA record

After coming so close on Thursday to shooting a 59, Phil Mickelson stood on the 18th hole on Friday needing a par to break the 36 hole scoring record.

 

In a typical Phil Mickelson melt down, he drove the ball into the water and double bogeyed the hole and failed to break Pat Perez’s record that was set at the 2009 Bob Hope Classic.

 

David Toms also matched Perez’s record of 124 strokes at Colonial in 2011.

 

A consolation for Phil “I’ll always be second best to Tiger” Mickelson however; he tied Mark Calcavecchia’s tournament record recorded in 2001.
