The American Phil Mickelson solvency solves the Desert Classic golf, tournament included in the PGA circuit, after completing the first day, in which the Spanish Jon Rahm finished eighth.
Mickelson completed his first trip to the Californian field of La Quinta with 60 strokes, 12 under par, with which he acquired a healthy advantage of three impacts on the second classified, his compatriot Adam Long.
The legendary Californian player, who has 43 victories in the circuit, made an impeccable first round in which he counted 10 birdies and an eagle on the par 6th hole.
Jon Rahm finished his first start in eighth place on the board with 66 hits, six under par. The Basque player scored seven birdies on his card, but a bogey on hole 2 prevented him from being closer to the top positions.
