DORAL (AP) – The CA Championship looks like any other big golf tournament held over the last nine months.

Phil Mickelson brings some star power. He built a two-shot lead Friday by chipping in for birdie for the third time and smoking a 3-wood from 245 yards around the palm trees and over the water, setting up another birdie.

The group chasing him includes two guys who have won this year – Nick Watney (Buick Invitational), who shot 67 and is two shots behind; and Kenny Perry (FBR Open), who had a 64 and is another shot back.

Tiger Woods was nowhere to be found. Only this time, he’s actually playing in the tournament.

Mickelson finished strong for the second straight day and put himself in the last group at Doral for the first time in three years. His foil on the Blue Monster typically is Woods, but Lefty will be keeping different company this time.

Woods was 10 shots behind.

Mickelson was at 13-under 131 and will have to settle for Watney, the only player at Doral who has yet to make a bogey.
