Harig: Mickelson scoring trend keeps him close at WGC-Cadillac Championship

DORAL, Fla. -- For all of his accomplishments in a Hall of Fame career that has spanned 25 years, there are a few somewhat glaring omissions from Phil Mickelson's resume'.

He's never been No. 1 in the world.

He's never been PGA Tour player of the year.

He's never led the PGA Tour in scoring average.

For a guy with 42 victories, including five major championships, that is a bit surprising, although a guy named Tiger Woods had something to do it.

And yet, now at age 45, Mickelson leads the tour with the lowest scoring average.
