Phil shared that it was an incredible day for him but he tried to stay calm amid everything. He added that he stayed away from TV and phone to cool his nerves. He said ( via ASAP Sports):

“It's been an incredible day, and I've not let myself kind of think about the results until now, now that it's over. I've tried to stay more in the present and at the shot at hand and not jump ahead and race. I've tried to shut my mind to a lot of stuff going around. I wasn't watching TV. I wasn't getting on my phone.”

He continued to talk about how he had several breakthroughs in being in the present and staying more focused physically and mentally. His words were:

“It's very exciting because I've had a few breakthroughs on being able to stay more present, be able to stay more focused, and physically, I'm striking it and playing as well as I ever have but I haven't been able to see that clear picture.”

Mickelson last played at the LIV Golf Adelaide to finish at T23 with a score of 2 under 214. He shot 72, 74, and 68 over the three rounds
