Five-time major winner Phil Mickelson carded a 66 to head a group on 201. World number seven Fowler, whose history of strong showings in Phoenix include a runner-up finish in 2010 and a playoff loss to Hideki Matsuyama in 2016, was rewarded for his patience with a sizzling finish to the day. "Just a little off in certain areas, (I) just tried to kind of piece things together," Fowler said. The 47-year-old is seeking his 43rd PGA Tour title, and his first title since the 2013 British Open. Justin Thomas, the 2017 PGA Tour Player of the Year, got off to a dream start with six birdies to open his round.
