Mickelson’s second only just gets over the drink, the old crowd-teaser. He’s got a 60-footer left for eagle. Schauffele lands his second pin high, but the ball takes a huge bounce off the ever-firmer green and into the trap at the back. Some big short-game stuff coming up! 2.44am BST
Phil Mickelson - who has been chugging along at +3 for some time now - splits 18 with a booming drive. His playing partner Xander Schauffele follows him down. Meanwhile a closing birdie for Daniel Berger at 9, and he’s nicely placed at level par.
