Mickelson on a charge

Phil Mickelson, revelling it seemed in the fact that Tiger Woods was so far behind, charged into a commanding lead early on the second day of the USPGA championship at Baltusrol.

While Woods waited to begin a round which probably needed to be in the sixties to spare him his first missed cut in a major as a professional, Mickelson finished a dazzling back nine 31 with an 18-foot eagle putt.
