The field can't catch up to Nick Taylor at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. But a few big names are within striking distance.
Taylor stayed atop the leaderboard Saturday after shooting a three-under 69. He's now 17 under overall, and nobody has caught up to him after his impressive 63 in the first round. It remains Taylor's tournament to lose.
But Phil Mickelson is lurking after shooting a five-under 67 on Saturday, putting him one stroke behind the leader. Just don't ask him what the key to catching Taylor once and for all on Sunday might be.
"I don't know what the key is," he said, per Nick Menta of the Golf Channel. "Just get the ball in the hole somehow."
