Video: Phil Mickelson is back to his old ways at Riviera


Ah, there's the Phil Mickelson we know and love! After turning into Mr. Consistent for a couple of rounds, Lefty reverted to his usual, erratic self on Friday at the Northern Trust Open. That meant wayward drives, bogeys ... and a hole-out for eagle from the fairway.

Just ho-hum stuff from Phil. After bogeying the seventh, Mickelson had 112 yards to the hole on the eighth, pulled wedge and watched as his ball hit and spun right back into the hole. He went on to bogey the ninth (his final hole of the day), but he still has a two-shot lead. Even with the bogeys you still have to like his chances this weekend of going back-to-back to close out the West Coast Swing.
