Six-time major title winner Phil Mickelson is having a staggering run at LIV Golf Bedminster. He currently stands at T2 rank with Dean Burmester and is four strokes behind the leader Cameron Smith.
Mickelson recently took to his Twitter handle to share that he is looking forward to winning the title at Trump National Golf Club, pointing out that he hasn't won a single event in the last two years.
However, despite being four strokes behind Smith, is hopeful for a win at the event. He also praised his team HyFlyers and feels that they can finish on the podium on Sunday.
"I haven't won in 2 years but I'm in the last group with a shot tomorrow. It'll be tough since I'm 4 back of Cameron Smith but I'm looking forward to it. I'm also so proud of my team The HyFlyer's who have made so much progress this year. We have a great shot at the podium tomorrow," Phil Mickelson wrote.

All thanks to his 4 under 67 second-round score along with five birdies and a bogey, Phil Mickelson jumped eight places to lock in tied second rank on the leaderboard. He will surely look to cover his four-stroke margin on Sunday at LIV Golf Bedminster.
It is also pertinent to note that his last professional win came in 2021 when he won the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on the PGA Tour Champions tour. In the same year, he won his second PGA Championship title at Kiawah Island Golf Resort.
