Previewing PGA Championship Round 3
In a turn of events exactly no one predicted, 50-year-old Phil Mickelson is tied for the lead at the halfway point at the PGA Championship. The five-time major champion had a back-and-forth start to Saturday’s round, before blitzing his second nine to shoot three-under 69.

That left him at five under, sharing the lead with 2010 Open champion Louis Oosthuizen. Oosthuizen had the round of the day, and made it through 17 holes without surrendering a shot before making a bogey at 18. The pair will play in the final group on Saturday at 2:40 p.m. ET.
Two-time PGA champion Brooks Koepka led for part of the round before a couple of late bogeys dropped him to four under. You can find newly-minted Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama one shot further back at three under.
