Don Wilson Sports News: PGA's TPC

Phil Mickelson is the leader after two rounds at The Players Championship! He struggled all day on Friday but managed to stay on top of the leaderboard. We'll have to wait and see what happens today and tomorrow. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods barely made the cut. But he did in fact make the cut. I think Tiger will probably shoot some good scores over the next couple of rounds to get closer to the top...

On a day when so many crucial shots found the water, Phil Mickelson wasn't sure whether his glass was half-empty or half-full at The Players Championship.

Based on where he hit some of his tee shots Friday, he was thrilled to be in the lead.

Considering that he twice hit the flag, nearly holed out from the fairway and hit a 6-iron on the par-5 16th hole that caught the perfect bounce and stopped 6 feet away for eagle, he was disappointed his one-shot lead wasn't greater.

"Had I played well, this is a day I could have shot 3 or 4 under and pulled away," Mickelson said after an even-par 72 that put him one shot ahead of Nathan Green of Australia. "A lot of guys shot under par. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of them. But by the same token, I didn't do well enough to shoot even par. So I'll take it."
