Entering the final round of the CA Championship tied for the lead, Phil Mickelson had to be treated for heat exhaustion and mild dehydration before Sunday's action, according to his spokesman.




At 16-under 200, Mickelson and Nick Watney finished Saturday four shots ahead, but according to Mickelson's spokesman, T.R. Reinman, the lefty complained about a feeling of lethargy and was taken to Baptist Medical Plaza.

If he can hold on to the lead through the tourney's final round, it would be Mickelson's second win of 2009, after taking the Northern Trust Open in February. Entering Sunday's action, Jeev Milkha Singh and Camilo Villegas trail Mickelson and Watney by four shots. Tiger Woods, at seven-under, is tied for 24th.
