"It's fun because the ball goes a long ways.It's challenging because trying to control your irons and get your distance control is very difficult. That'll be the biggest challenge this week, but you can hit bombs. Bombs up here."

Phil Mickelson "disappointed" with his performance at the Masters 2025

"I had a lot of fun. I wish I played better. I thought it was great. I thought that it was challenging with the wind today, but the greens were more receptive. I think they put some water on it knowing that. I thought it was playing, fun, great challenge, hard. It's the Masters; I love everything about it."

Talking about his performance, he said:

"Yeah, I've been playing good golf this year, and so I'm disappointed with my score this week. But I've been playing some good golf. I'll get back at it here soon."

Mickelson further said that the Augusta was a strong opportunity for him to contend, possibly even win. He said that he believed his game was good enough to be in the mix, but he was disappointed not to score well and capitalize on the chance.
