The first two rounds of the 2020 Travelers Championship are in the books, and 50-year-old Phil Mickelson leads by one shot over Will Gordon and Mackenzie Hughes after firing rounds of 64-63, bringing him to 13 under par overall. It’s the second-lowest 36-hole total of Mickelson’s lengthy playing career, surpassed only by the 2013 Waste Management Phoenix Open, when he opened with rounds of 60-65. Mickelson went on to win that tournament by four shots.
