PHIL Mickelson repelled a host of challengers in the third round of the US Open on Saturday to hang onto his lead after a dramatic day of jousting among the world’s top players.

The American started the day with a one-stroke lead, saw six different players overtake him, and then rebounded at the death to move back ahead by the smallest of margins on one-under 209.
