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.Instead, he endured another dose of heartache.All because of a 63.The 16-foot putt looked good until the last turn, catching the right side of the cup. The ball then rode the edge until it sat there on the other side of the hole. Mickelson plopped his hand on his forehead in disbelief. 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. Over the last 43 years in the majors, there had been 27 rounds of 63. No one had shot 62.Mickelson knew that. He also knew he most likely would never get a chance like this after his 6-iron settled 16 feet from the hole on No. 18.That putt on 18 was an opportunity to do something historical, he said. 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. Wow, that stings.MARATHON CLASSICSYLVANIA, Ohio -- Hyo Joo Kim bogeyed her final hole for a 5-under 66 and a share of the Marathon Classic lead with fellow South Korean player Mirim Lee and Japans Haru Nomura.Celebrating her 21st birthday, Kim had four birdies in a six-hole stretch on her second nine at rain-softened Highland Meadows.
