Mickelson starts with a birdie

Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els each start the day with a solid tee shot. 

Mickelson's approach found a slope and trickled off the green but he still managed to drain the putt off the fringe for birdie.  Phil couldn't have asked for a better start.  He moves to one-under.

Els' approach shot also left him with a good chance for birdie but he left the putt short and tapped in for par.
