Second round

Friday, April 7, 2006

Chad Campbell, with just one top ten result at a major (runner-up at 2003 PGA Championship), led at the halfway point by three strokes at 138 (–6). His 67 (–5) on Friday was one of only three scores in the 60s. In a tie for second at 141 (–3) was Singh, Mediate, and 1992 champion Fred Couples. Mickelson shot even par for the round and was among a group tied for fifth at 142 (–2). The cut came at 148 (+4); among the notables to miss the cut was Chris DiMarco, the playoff runner-up to Woods in 2005.[5]

Third round

Saturday, April 8, 2006

Thunderstorms postponed a good chunk of action in the third round, forcing it to be completed on Sunday morning.[6] Mickelson moved to the top of the leaderboard with a two-under 70 to 212 (–4). Second round leader Campbell shot 75 (+3) to fall into a tie for second with Couples, who shot even par for the round. Woods shot 71 for 214, two strokes back in a six way tie for fourth, along with Singh and four others.

Final round

Sunday, April 9, 2006

Mickelson won his second consecutive major (2005 PGA Championship) and his second green jacket with a final round 69 for a two-stroke victory over Tim Clark. Mickelson's lone bogey was at the final hole, when he had victory all but assured. The win also gave him his third major in the last nine. Clark finished in solo second by holing-out from a green side bunker at the 72nd hole. Woods shot a two-under 70 to finish three strokes behind Mickelson in a five-way tie for third. Others finishing in third place were Couples, Goosen, Campbell, and José María Olazábal, the 1994 and 1999 champion, who shot the round of the tournament, a six-under 66.[2][3] Sadly, Mediate fell out of contention after hitting three balls into the water and making a ten at the par-3 12th.[7]
