Va. Tech's Beamer tees off with Mickelson

Posted:

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS (WVVA) - Virginia Tech head football coach Frank Beamer joined PGA star Phil Mickelson as he made his return to the Old White TPC course Wednesday.

Beamer and Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear played with Mickelson in Wednesday's pro-am. The team shot a -8 for the day, aided by a Beamer chip shot on hole 9.

Beamer said afterwards the experience was enjoyable -- despite the sweltering heat.

Mickelson is making his second appearance in the Greenbrier Classic. He failed to make the cut last year, and hopes to make up for it with stronger play this go-round.

Mickelson praised the course and The Greenbrier resort as one of the best on the PGA Tour.
