Phil Mickelson took sole possession of the lead on Thursday at the 2012 Northern Trust Open with a chip-in on the 18th hole from 35 feet away for a birdie and a first-round 66, good for five under par. Play was halted for darkness on Thursday, with 30 of the 144 players left on the course at Riviera Country Club at Pacific Palisades.
"It wasn’t one I was really trying to make," Mickelson told the Associated Press. "It was quick, it was downhill, and I had to play about four or five feet of break, so it’s not one that you’re trying to get aggressive with. I was trying to get good speed and try to let it feed with the break, and I got fortunate, obviously, that it went in."
