Bobcat on prowl for birdies at Phoenix Open golf tournament

“I hit a lot of really good shots today, a lot of good iron shots”, said Mickelson, who made his 27th start at the tournament (he is a three-time winner).

“I don’t like it”, he said.

A bobcat was seen running around between the first and second fairways at TPC Scottsdale.

It was also the 10th-largest figure for any day in tournament history.

“It’s good for golf, good for the game, good for the fans that come out here”, Hahn said.

“I didn’t see any reason to change it”, he said. This trio will tee off at 10:06 am EST or 8:06 am local time.

“To come out here and shoot a decent score in the first round I’m obviously fairly happy”, said Lowry, before outlining his battle plan for the remainder of the week.

Korean-American Hahn had a 10-under total of 132 after 36 holes at TPC Scottsdale.

“I don’t like it”, Watson said Wednesday of the Scottsdale, AZ course.

The top-ranked player in the field at No. 4, Fowler bogeyed the par-3 16th after drawing an awkward lie in the right bunker. “The wind was kind of blowing from an awkward position”. He has four worldwide victories in the last nine months. Molder was unable to complete his round as bad light brought an end to play with him having completed 16 holes.

He brought as much substance as style, shooting a 6-under 65 to tie Shane Lowry and Hideki Matsuyama for the lead in the suspended first round. He was one of 33 players who failed to finish. The tournament is still hopeful of holding the final round Saturday as scheduled.

Defending champion McIlroy shot a 72 to finish at 4-under 140, six shots off the lead. Pavin won the 1995 U.S. Open among his 15 PGA Tour titles.

Jack Maguire had a memorable moment in his second PGA Tour event.

He was rolling after back-to-back birdies at three and four before bogeys at five and six.

Wayne’s Marina Alex did not make the cut. She even joked with the others in her group about being in the clubhouse with just one shot remaining. “You want to hit a shorter club on the second shot”.

Fowler added an eagle at the par-five 15th – where he drained a 27-footer – and sandwiched a birdie between two bogeys before picking up two more strokes coming in.
