Paul Casey put together another solid round Saturday for a 5-under 67 that gave him a threeshot lead over Phil Mickelson going into the final day of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Casey had four birdies over his last 10 holes at Spyglass Hill in a mixture of rain, sunshine and wind. He finished at 15-under 200, the fourth time on the PGA Tour had he has led going into the final round.

Jordan Spieth was tied for the lead after a birdie on the par-3 fifth hole and remained in range of Casey until he pulled his tee shot so badly on the 13th hole he didn’t know where it was until it was spotted 140 yards behind where he was looking. He made double bogey, and then after a three-putt bogey on the 17th green, pulled his tee shot into the ocean on the 18th hole for another double bogey. He went from being in the mix to eight shots behind.
