Mickelson takes big lead into final round
April 1, 2006About the only question left for the final round of the BellSouth Classic was whether Phil Mickelson can make some more history.

It could have been even better, but he closed with a double bogey to finish four strokes off the best 54-hole total on a par-72 course in PGA Tour history - Gay Brewer's 25-under 191 in the 1967 Pensacola Open.
