Mickelson Takes Share of Lead into Final Round

Phil Mickelson shares the lead with Nick Watney after three rounds of the CA Championship at Doral, Fla.

Mickelson entered the day with a two-shot lead over Watney
before shooting a 3-under-par 69 that included three straight
birdies on the back nine. Lefty had birdie putts inside 12 feet on
eight consecutive holes until a wild tee shot on the 17th hole led
to a bogey.

Watney shot a steady 67, capping his round with a tough par save
to stay at 16-under.

Tiger Woods was thrilled with how he hit the ball, disgusted
with his putting, and had to settle for a 68 that left him nine shots behind.

Jeev Milkha Singh (seeng) and Camilo Villegas (vih-JAY'-guhs)
were tied for third at 12-under.
