Just yesterday, golf analyst David Feherty described Phil Mickelson's often-erratic play as "watching a movie only he can see". Today, Feherty could be heard rooting for Phil's third shot on the par-5 15th hole and gasping as Mickelson almost pulled off the unthinkable...a third consecutive eagle at the Masters. Eagle on the 13th. Eagle on the 14th. Missed an eagle on the 15th by a couple inches and "settled" for a birdie. In 30 minutes, Mickelson went from a 5-stroke deficit to a a brief 1-shot lead. At the same time Mickelson made his Saturday run, Fred Couples turned in an eagle of his own and is well within reach. What a leaderboard - Westwood, Mickelson, Woods, Choi and Couples are the top five!
