By three shots

Mickelson leads

Two years is not that long in a tennis career — Caroline Garcia after crowning her comeback from a two- year Fed Cup exile by leading France past Belgium

Los Angeles: Phil Mickelson was closing in on a fifth Pebble Beach Pro- Am title when darkness halted play in the final round of the weather- hit US PGA Tour tournament. Mickelson will return to play the last two holes on Monday holding a three- shot lead over playing partner Paul Casey. Red- hot Mickelson and Casey had opposing views on whether to continue as darkness fell, Mickelson putting out for a par at the 16th and saying he was ready to head to 17 as Casey opted to call it a day with a three- foot putt for par in front of him. “I can see fine,” Mickelson told a rules official on the 16th green. But he said he understood Casey’s perspective. “I get exactly where Paul’s coming from,” Mickelson said. “It’s dark and we’re going to have a good chance tomorrow to come out on fresh greens. They got pretty rough this afternoon so I totally get it. “But I have pretty good vision, I can see fine and I’m playing well so I wanted to continue, that's all there is to it.”
