The Latest: Mickelson Closes Ground at PGA

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The Latest from the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits (all times local):

2:47 p.m.

Phil Mickelson has made up a lot of ground in the third round at the PGA Championship.

Lefty finished the day at 6 under and moved to 5 under for the tournament.

Mickelson birdied No. 17 before escaping a jam on the final hole. His second shot fell short of the green and landed on a steep, grassy incline.

But Mickelson's next shot was near-perfect, chipping to within 3 feet of the hole to set up a putt to save par.
