SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. - As longtime Phil Mickelson watchers know, nobody does relentlessly positive like Lefty. So it was no surprise Thursday that he had mostly good things to say about his 7-over 77."I played really well," he said. "I hit 13 of 14 fairways. I didnt make single double bogey, Im going to go out tomorrow and try to do the same thing."It was the highest score of Mickelson's major championship career when hitting 13 fairways or more."Ive got no complaints," he said. "If I play the next two rounds in par-par, Im right back in it."According to Mickelson, an even-par 70 was on the table on Thursday.

"I played well enough to shoot even par," he said. "My short game was the only thing that wasnt very good. I didnt chip and putt as well as I normally do."

"Ive got no complaints."I played fine. Hopefully I play well tomorrow. I hit a ton of quality shots. Hopefully Ill score a little bit better tomorrow. If I play the same way as I did today then Ill shoot a good score."
