Justin Thomas also got a scare, mainly because his opponent had to putt with a sand wedge over the last 12 holes. He had a bogey, a double bogey and no birdies as Uihlein raced out to a 5-up lead through 10 holes. List putted with the leading edge of his sand wedge, and he fought back to take Thomas to the 18th hole. “When he started putted with the wedge, I knew that it would hopefully make it easier on me,” Thomas said. Mickelson lost his opening match for the first time since John Cook beat him in 2002 at La Costa.
