Mickelson and Singh Trivia from the Bridgestone Invitational

Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh played together in the final group of Saturday's third round at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. But while they are still tied for the lead heading into the final round, alas, they won't be paired on Sunday. Singh is in the final group with their co-leader, Lee Westwood, and Mickelson will be one group ahead.

Trivia question: Who is the only golfer with at least two PGA Tour wins each of the last five years (including 2008)? It's not Tiger Woods. It's Mickelson, who will be trying for win No. 3 in 2008 on Sunday.

Singh has yet to win this year on the PGA Tour, but if he does win the Bridgestone it will mark the 13th season in which he has won. He's also trying to become - random factoid alert - the first golfer over 38 years old to win a World Golf Championships tournament. Three times previously in his career, Vijay has won a tournament the week before a major (the PGA Championship takes place next week).

Mickelson has a reputation for being susceptible to the meldtown - for blowing his share of tournaments. But his record as a frontrunner is actually quite good.

Twenty-seven times in his career, Phil has held or shared the 54-hole lead in a PGA Tour event. And 20 of those times he emerged the winner. His final-round scoring average in those 27 tournaments is 69.5, and he really only played poorly in one of them. Six of the seven times Mickelson failed to win, he finished second or third.

And did you know that Mickelson is one of only 10 golfers in PGA Tour history to win a tournament played immediately preceding a major, and then win the major as well? From the PGA Tour, here's the list of players to do so:

• 2007 - Tiger Woods won Bridgestone Invitational followed by the PGA Championship
