Nov. 7, 2009 - 3:35 AM ET
Phil Mickelson posted a third round score of 5-under-par 67 and has a two-stroke lead over Tiger Woods and Nick Watney at the WGC-HSBC in Shanghai, China.
On the front nine, Mickelson was 2-under-par, but at the turn he was two-strokes behind Tiger Woods. The back nine saw Mickelson put consecutive birdies on the card starting at the 14th hole to take a one-stroke lead, as Woods sputtered on the closing holes, and a kick-in birdie at the par-5 18th hole expanded his lead out to two strokes. On Sunday, Mickelson will be looking for his third European Tour championship and his second HSBC Champions title.
