Mickelson went into the clubhouse as the leader, but Louis Oosthuizen took the lead for a brief, few holes. Mickelson and the South African wound up tied for the lead at 5-under par through 36 holes, and they’ll be paired for the third round Saturday at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island (S.C) Golf Resort.
American Brooks Koepka is alone in third place at 4-under par, and nipping his heels in fourth place (3-under) are Matsuyama, Christiann Bezuidenhout and Branden Grace. The next five players, all at 2-under par, are Paul Casey, Kevin Streelman, Sungjae Im, Gary Woodland and Corey Conners, who also briefly held a lead on Friday.
Saturday is also called moving day, in which players position themselves for Sunday’s final round for the championship.
