2222: Sergio Garcia makes a bogey five at the fifth to leave Padraig Harrington on his own in second, as 11 players are locked at three over. Phil Mickelson gets a huge ovation from the crowds on 13 with an incredible shot from deep in the trees that makes the green.

2143: Phil Mickelson halts his slide with a first birdie of the day, chipping in from the fringe on 11 to go two over.

2040: Phil Mickelson is deep in conversation with a course official on the eighth tee as the course begins to look unplayable. Rocco Mediate, bizarrely sporting two hats and a pair of sunglasses, completes the back nine in 36, but has nine more to play.
