Expect this rough trip to carry on through the remainder of the growing season. Although he struck 71 in the very first round, Mickelson's play at the time was anything but impressive: four bogeys, which carried over into Rounds 2 and 3. There, Mickelson's surprisingly porous show worsened with a 76 and 77.
