TROON, Scotland -- Phil Mickelson pointed his putter toward the hole and was ready to step right into major championship history Thursday in the British Open.

His caddie, Jim Bones Mackay, toppled onto his back.I want to cry, Mickelson said.No tears were necessary at Royal Troon, not after a round that was brilliant even by Leftys standards, and certainly not after building a three-shot lead over Patrick Reed and Martin Kaymer on an ideal day by the Irish Sea.Mickelson seized the moment with a birdie on the par-5 16th from a bunker short of the green, and a 4-iron to 15 feet for birdie on the par-3 17th to reach 8-under par.

I knew it, and with a foot to go I thought I had done it. I saw that ball rolling right in the center. I went to go get it. I had that surge of adrenaline that I had just shot 62. And then I had the heartbreak that I didnt and watched that ball lip out.
