Two days ago, Phil Mickelson told a fan not to add him to his fantasy golf lineup.
And after an opening-round 65 Thursday, he admitted that he had arrived in Napa expecting to head home after two days.
Instead, Mickelson ascended to the top of the board Friday, moving to 10 under par and taking to the second round co-lead through the end of the morning wave.
A miserable week in Paris and a long trip to California had Mickelson less than bullish about his chances, but his play is forcing him to re-evaluate.
