Mickelson out in front

Phil Mickelson took an early lead in his tussle with Zach Johnson as the Americans got the second round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship under way at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club near Tucson today.

Mickelson needed 19 holes to get past Argentina’s Angel Cabrera in yesterday’s opening round having let slip a four-hole lead over the back nine.
