Keith Mitchell talks about his performance at Truist Championship 2025

Keith Mitchell started his game at the 2025 Truist Championship on Thursday on the tenth hole. He carded three birdies on the front nine and then again started with a birdie on the first hole.

Mitchell added five more birdies on the back nine for a fabulous round of 9-under 61. In the post-round press conference, he even reflected on his performance and said, via ASAP Sports:

"A lot of greens that have one real uniform slope outside of little, small nuances. In the practice rounds, my caddie and I were just throwing an arrow pretty much to determine what direction the entire green sloped, and he always kind of played it outside so you can stay below the hole.

"If you get above the hole really pin high on the wrong side, you can have a really fast putt and have a ton of breaks. So trying to stay below the hole out here is huge," he added.

Meanwhile, in this season, Keith Mitchell was very close to winning the Corales Puntacana Championship but ended up settling in T2 place after playing the final round of 71. He missed the title last month but had a good start this week.

The Truist Championship will run for four days and have its finale on Sunday, May 11. It would be intriguing to see how things would work for Mitchell moving ahead.
