LIV Golf R2 tee times: Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson paired on 3rd hole

Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson will tee off on the 3rd hole in the second round of the LIV Golf Invitational at Centurion Golf Club near London.

Both of the Americans, who the PGA Tour has suspended, shot a 1-under 69 on Thursday at the Hertfordshire venue to sit four shots behind Charl Schwartzel.

After his opening round in which he made four birdies, Lefty declined to speak of his PGA Tour ban but did describe his enjoyment of playing competitive golf again.

"It's been a while since I played, it seemed awfully fun. The people here are terrific and it was fun to hit some good shots and get into a competitive frame of mind again. I really enjoyed it," Mickelson said.

"I drove the ball straight, that was different and nice - Anything regarding PGA Tour matters, I'm not ready to publicly discuss at this time."
