Phil Mickelson Struggles On Front Nine, Registers Double Bogey On Ninth Hole

Coming into today’s action, fan favorite Phil Mickelson was tied for second at -1. But while Graeme McDowell and Dustin Johnson have charged ahead of the pack by multiple strokes today, Mickelson’s day has gone off in the opposite direction.

Phil The Thrill started his third round with two consecutive bogeys, but a birdie on the Par 3 5th seemed to get him back on track. Then a disastrous ninth hole saddled Phil with a double bogey, dropping him seven shots back at the turn.

A birdie on 11 has pushed Phil back to +1 and tied for fifth place, but his play today resembles his first round (+4) much more than his second (-5). Not good news for Lefty fans.
