PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Phil Mickelson has been coming to the Pebble Beach Pro-Am since 1995 and has won it four times, so there is not much he has not accomplished along the Monterey Peninsula.

Until Thursday, when Mickelson delivered something new: He did not miss a single fairway.

“History was made today,” Mickelson said after shooting 6-under-par 65 on the Monterey Peninsula course, leaving him and Matt Every one shot behind Brian Gay and Scott Langley after one round. “To the best of my knowledge, it’s taken me 27 years and a few months to hit all fairways in a single round in competition. I may have done it before, but I don’t ever recall doing it.”

His accuracy was better than his memory. According to the PGA Tour, Mickelson has done it seven times, most recently 21 years ago at Torrey Pines. Perhaps more remarkable about that round in 1998 was that even playing from the short grass on every shot, he still had a 73.

That was not the case this time on an ideal day — perhaps the last beautiful day of the week — for scoring. Over three rain-softened tracks — the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula, Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach — 59 players in the 156-man field shot in the 60s.
