Put Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods in the same room and they\u2019d compete for oxygen.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Saturday at the 2013 PGA Championship looked so strange for the two uber-competitors, who played separately but stumbled similarly.<\/p>\n

Mickelson blew up with an eight-over 78, triple-bogeying the par-four seventh and playing the final five holes in five over with a double bogey.<\/p>\n

After trying to drive the 323-yard par-four 14th, Mickelson took a nice tour of the fringe, needing three back-and-forth chips to find the green before two-putting.<\/p>\n

His drive on No. 16 dispersed the gallery \u2013 symbolic of a day he found just five of 14 fairways \u2013 before he saved par.<\/p>\n

The British Open champion is in next-to-last at 10 over<\/a>. With apologies to Stephen Gallacher, that\u2019s not whom Mickelson expected to be paired with on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Woods also enlisted crowd control, spraying three of the four tee shots he used driver into the crowd. The fourth found a fairway bunker.<\/p>\n

He shot 73 and is tied for 48th at four over.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot joyous, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Woods said when asked his mood. \u201cIt\u2019s just one of those weeks where I didn\u2019t quite hit it well enough and didn\u2019t make enough putts. I kept blocking every putt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woods also hit just five of 14 fairways and needed 32 putts in his round, which he began with a bogey when his approach from the rough on No. 1 hit a tree. \u2013 latimes<\/a><\/p>\n
