Mickelson's 68 sets the Saturday pace at WFC
May 6, 2012 - 8:00 PM ET
Phil Mickelson fired a 4-under-par 35-33=68 to set the moving-day pace in the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow.
Lefty got off to a conservative start, as he followed a birdie at the first with eight pars. His scorecard became much more active on the back, starting with a birdie on the par-5 10th. He swallowed a bogey on the 12th, but bounced back with birdies on 13, 14 and 15 before heading to the Green Mile. He drained an 18'10" birdie on the par-4 16th and followed that up with a par on the 17th before failing to get up and down for par on the closing hole. All in all, he circled six birdies to two bogeys and sits at 5-under 211 headed into Sunday's final round. He will have to sit back and watch with the rest of us to see if he will be within shouting distance of the lead entering the finale.
