After two rounds of golf at the Wells Fargo Championship, Phil Mickelson is the man to beat. "Lefty" seized sole control of the lead after turning in a 67 on Friday to put him at nine-under par heading into the weekend.

Mickelson wasn't the only big name in the hunt, though. No. 2 golfer in the world Rory McIlroy continued his quest for the championship by remaining in the top 10 despite firing a 71 in the second round.

After seven golfers were tied for the lead at the conclusion of Round 1, Round 2 proved to separate some of the pretenders from the ones that will be serious threats to earn the victory this weekend.

Here's a look at how the top 10 shakes out heading into the final two rounds. For the complete leaderboard and scores, check out PGATour.com.

Phil on Fire



Mickelson had the magic touch all day. He set himself up with a birdie putt on No. 1 after a nice 97-yard approach shot and never looked back:



He would go on to birdie Nos. 2,7,9, 14 and 15. The only blemish on his otherwise great round of golf was a bogey on No. 12—a hole that he parred in Round 1.

When Lefty is on, he's still one of the best golfers in the world. He's got the hot hand right now and will be tough to overcome down the stretch.

 

Rory Struggles, but Still Lurking
