Mickelson is leaving his early struggles this year behind him, as he tears it up at Scottsdale.
With another day well under par, Mickelson keeps increasing the ground between himself and the rest of the field.
It helps Mickelson that Bill Haas, who had entered the day in second place, struggled and finished with a score of 70, pushing him down to sixth place.

However, like with any relatively easy course, there were a few big gainers on Saturday.
Padraig Harrington had the best day of anyone, shooting 63 (-8) and jumping up from 20th to tie for third.
Brendan Steele and Scott Piercy also had huge days, both finishing at 65 (-6), and moving up 14 and 30 spots in the rankings, respectively.
However, Lefty's 64 (-7) stopped anyone except for Harrington from making up any ground, and he'll enter Sunday with a six-stroke lead and a chance to finish the tournament at 30 strokes under par.
Highlights

Bill Haas had a rough day, finishing at just one under par. However, he had a shining moment on No. 13 that helped him avoid finishing over par, as he shot a chip-in eagle.
Not to be outdone, Padraig Harrington had an eagle of his own on No. 15, which was part of his eight-under-par day, which led the field.
Our third highlight comes courtesy of Lefty himself, as this birdie helped propel him to his 64 on the day.
And, of course, what's the Waste Management Phoenix Open without a bit of caddy racing? This clip comes between two brothers who thrive on competition.
