Phil Mickelson is still in the lead after shooting a 2-under 70. He is tied for the lead with Kevin Sutherland, who birdied the last hole at Poppy Hills. It was the second time in three weeks Sutherland birded the final hole to lead going into the final round.

This is the first tme Mickelson has led going into the final round since last summer at Winged Foot.

Jim Furyk had a rough time. The rain was driving sideways in 20 mpg guests. The tenth hole was particularly tough for Furyk, when he shot a double bogey. He shot a 76 and is now six shots behind the leaders.

Vijay Singh was doing well until the last hole, when his game fell apart. He sunk his tee shot into the ocean. Another shot flew over the corporate boxes on 18. He finished the hole with a double bogey.

Tom Watson, one of my favorite players, is 8 shots behind the leader. He and his son, Michael, made the pro-am cut and are tied for second.
