Mickelson struggles late on Friday at PGA

Golf Betting Lines

08/08/2008 - Bloomfield Hills Township, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Phil Mickelson bogeyed three of his last five holes Friday en route to a three-over 73 in the second round of the PGA Championship.

Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Champion, is still very much in the hunt for his fourth major title. He finished 36 holes at three-over 143 and is four behind second-round leader J.B. Holmes.

"If they water the greens and change some pins, you can shoot under par," said Mickelson. "I'm within four going into the weekend. There's a lot of golf left out here."

Mickelson got to even-par for the championship after a six-foot birdie putt at the 13th. That got him within one of Holmes, but some uncharacteristic bad shots around the green doomed Mickelson.

His second at 14 went through the green after an errant drive and his chip stopped nine feet from the stick. Mickelson missed that putt, then stubbed a chip at the 15th and left with another bogey.

"I finally made one on 13 and then I turned around and gave it right back on 14 and 15," said Mickelson.

After a poor second at the 16th, Mickelson saved par from five feet. His five- iron tee shot at the 17th rolled through to the back fringe. Mickelson appeared to skull his chip that ran through the other side of the putting surface. That led to another bogey, but a par at the last kept Mickelson within striking distance.
