Phil Mickelson thinks his relationship with Tiger Woods is good

Mickelson and Woods played a practice round together yesterday at Augusta and the pair seemed to be a lot more friendly.

With a flurry of birdies and eagles between them on the back nine, they looked to be easy in each other’s company.

Their relationship was rather strained in the past, but it has eased in recent years due to Woods’ well-documented injury problems.

Woods captained the successful 2016 Ryder Cup team at Hazeltine which Mickelson played in.

And Mickelson thinks the competition helped thaw tensions with the former world No 1.
