Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Phil Mickelson (on the momentum he is carrying into the weekend):

"Well, I've been waiting for it to just click and just all come together in a round, and I felt like once that happened there would be some momentum and things would fall into place a lot easier. I had expected it to happen Thursday and Friday, so I was extremely disappointed with the first two rounds. The weekend came and I played a good solid round on Saturday, but Sunday was a big day for me because it just kind of fell together. I felt like the pieces were close and Thursday-Friday hit and I didn't know what to think. But the weekend came and I played some good golf, and it felt like it started to fall together."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Phil Mickelson (on the younger players on Tour):

"Just makes me feel old, that's all. You know, when somebody says, yeah, I used to watch you on TV when I was six, how do you respond to that? Great. But it is fun to play with some of these young guys, and it is fun to see their energy and their excitement and how much they appreciate being out on Tour, and all the great things that come along, all the perks that come along with playing on the Tour. When you're out here for 22 years, you sometimes take it for granted, and when you see the excitement and appreciation from these younger guys, it gets me excited again, too. So I enjoy playing with them."
