ARDMORE, Pa., June 15 (UPI) -- Phil Mickelson carded an even-par 70 Saturday, holding onto a one-shot lead as the only player to end under par after three rounds of the U.S. Open.
Mickelson took over the leaderboard with a birdie on the long par-3 17th at Merion Golf Club, then parred the final hole as his closest competitors stumbled down the stretch.
