Golf roundup
*LOS ANGELES — Phil Mickelson looked unbeatable until a 30-inch putt spun around the rim of the cup, giving him the first of three bogeys on the back nine that cost him a cushion, but ultimately not the lead, Saturday in the Nissan Open.
Mickelson got up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 17th and shot 2-under 69 in the steamy sunshine at Riviera, giving him a one-shot lead over Padraig Harrington (70) as he tries to win for the second straight week.
Mickelson was at 13-under 200. He will be in the final group with Harrington and Rich Beem, who made a hole-in-one on the 14th hole that sent him leaping atop the red sports car that he won. Beem, who used a a 7-iron from 179 yards for the ace, shot the best round of the day, a 65 that left him two shots behind.
*LUTZ, Fla. — Andy Bean shot a 4-under 67 in cold and windy conditions for a share of the lead with Wayne Levi in the suspended second round of the Champions Tour's Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.
Levi shot a 69, finishing in near darkness, to match Bean at 4-under 138 on the TPC Tampa Bay. Levi holed a pitching wedge shot from 118 yards for eagle on the par-4 10th — his first hole of the day.
*ADELAIDE, Australia — American Scott Sterling shot a 6-under 66 for a share of the third-round lead in the Jacob's Creek Open.
