Bridgestone Invitational: Phil in 2nd place at halfway point
World Golf Championships | 
Written by BigRed
Phil Mickelson has got his eyes set on the biggest win of his 2008 campaign. After titles at the Northern Trust Open in February and the
Crowne Plaza Invitational in May, Mickelson trails second round leader Vijay Singh by a single shot after two excellent rounds of 68 and 66 at Firestone Country Club in Akron, OH (Par 70). So far Phil has had just a single bogey during the first 36 holes and managed to save par on numerous occassions on the difficult layout.
Here is how the leaderboard shapes up going into the weekend:
| 1 | Vijay Singh (FIJ) | -7 |
| 2 | Phil Mickelson (USA) | -6 |
| 3 | Zach Johnson (USA) | -5 |
| Sean O`Hair (USA) | -5 | |
| Peter Lonard (AUS) | -5 | |
| Lee Westwood (ENG) | -5 |
It seems like we’re up for an exciting weekend. All the best, Phil!
