HUMBLE, Texas Phil Mickelson didnt mince words following an even-par 72 to open the Shell Houston Open.Mickelson birdied three of the four par 5s at the Golf Club of Houston, but he also added three bogeys in his first competitive round since a quarterfinals loss to Bill Haas at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. He now sits eight shots off the early pace set by Rickie Fowler (64).I played terrible, Mickelson said. I was just a little bit off. I didnt hit my irons close, I didnt make a lot of great putts. I did make some to keep it at even. Hit a few in the hazard. I wasnt quite sharp today, but Ive been playing well so Im hopeful to come out tomorrow and shoot a low one and get back in it.
