PHIL'S SHORT GAME (11:44 a.m.): Phil Mickelson has always had arguably the PGA TOUR's best short game. This season, it's just taken a while to show.

Through two rounds here, Mickelson has gone 14 of 16 when scrambling from around the greens, leaving himself a field-leading average par putt of just over 3 feet -- that's over 3 feet closer than the field. Out of the sand, he's gone 6 of 8, averaging 5 feet, 5 inches to the pin.

Perhaps most important, however, are these two facts: Mickelson has converted nearly 129 feet of putts this week and he's chipped in four times -- three of those for birdies. -- Brian Wacker
