And then there were two contenders

Basically, it's down to Charles Howell III (through 17 and in the right rough on 18) and Phil Mickelson (through 16 and 25 feet from an eagle on 17), tied at 16 under par. Robert Allenby (through 17) is two strokes back, Ernie Els finished at -13. Today's flop was Paddy Harrington, +3 through 16 and back in a tie for seventh.
