PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Phil Mickelson finally showed signs of turning the corner Thursday.

Nowhere near the leaderboard since his collapse at the U.S. Open last summer, Mickelson hit 4-iron from 230 yards into 18 feet for eagle on his final hole at Poppy Hills for a 7-under 65 to share the lead with rookie John Mallinger and Nick Watney at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
"I didn't think it would take three tournaments to get to where I wanted to be," said Mickelson, playing for the fourth straight week. "But each tournament, I saw progress."
Mickelson and the rest of the 180-man field also saw a return of the notorious weather -- known in these parts as "Crosby" weather as a tribute to when Bing Crosby was host of a tournament that featured every element just about every hour.
Cold. Windy. Wet.
