Phil Mickelson leads the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am after a superb third round.

Ireland’s Padraig Harrington is five off the lead, following a five under par round that saw him bound up the leaderboard.

Harrington began on the back nine and finished the first half of his round on one under, thanks to a birdie at the 17th. His challenge ignited after the run, as he birdied the first and second holes, before adding another three birdies and just one bogey to finish on five-under.

Harrington’s round was the join-fourth best of the day and the Dubliner now sits tied for 12th overall.
