KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (Reuters) - Phil Mickelson had an iron grip on the PGA Championship until two bad swings changed the entire complexion of the tournament on Saturday and left Lefty facing a more daunting challenge in his quest to become golf's oldest major winner.

Mickelson had been almost flawless in the third round until he pulled his drive into a bunker at the par-four 12th and made his first bogey in 21 holes.
