(Reuters) - Phil Mickelson was missing his faithful sidekick on Friday, but was unfazed and stayed in contention to finish the second round two strokes behind leader Rory McIlroy at the WGC-Mexico Championship in Mexico City.

Caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay lasted less than four holes at Club de Golf Chapultepec before calling it a day due to a stomach complaint, but Mickelson did not have to turn far to find a replacement in the form of his brother Tim.
