All of Phil Mickelsons offseason work on his driver has paid off through two rounds of the CareerBuilder Challenge.His iron play? Not as sharp, and its the reason why he heads into the weekend 10 shots off the lead.Ive been pretty pleased, overall, with the way Ive been driving the ball, and very displeased with the way my iron game has been, said Mickelson, who shot 68 Friday on PGA Wests Nicklaus course. He has hit only 21 of 36 greens so far this week. Usually my iron play is a lot better than what its been. So Ill go work on it and hopefully improve each round in this tournament and build a solid foundation for the upcoming West Coast events.
