"I actually thought it was a successful round," Mickelson said. "It was difficult out there. I've got a good chance going into tomorrow."

Casey - starting tied for the lead - birdied the fourth but failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker to save par at the sixth, before picking up a shot at the par-five seventh and rolling in a 12-footer at the ninth.

Reaching the turn in 34, Casey pitched to tap-in range at the 11th and followed a 10-foot gain at the 14th with a birdie-two at the next on his way to setting the clubhouse target.

Mickelson lost ground after missing an eight-footer to save par at the first and found himself over par for the round when he posted back-to-back bogeys around the turn.

Brian Gay and Matt Every sit five strokes off the pace in fifth spot, with Jason Day and Scotland's Russell Knox part of the group a further shot back.
