Delayed BellSouth will help Mickelson's Masters defence

Phil Mickelson did not plan to be playing golf today, but now that he is he believes it can only help his defence of the Masters later this week.

After a sparkling second-round 65 yesterday, Mickelson goes into the third and final round of the rain and snow-hit BellSouth Classic in Atlanta just a single stroke behind fellow American Scott McCarron.
