Deja vu for Mickelson on Sunday's front 9

Phil Mickelson began his round Sunday at the Masters much like he did Saturday, going 2-under par through two holes, thanks to an eagle at the par-5 second.

The eagle by Lefty gave him the Masters record for lowest score on the hole over the week.

Then disaster struck again at the short par-4 third for the 46-year-old. Mickelson found the bunker off the tee, then hit his approach over the green, and walked off the green with a double-bogey six for the second straight day.

The three-time Masters champion then proceeded to make a bogey on the next hole at the par-4 fourth.

Mickelson would add one more bogey at No. 7 and post a 2-over par 38 on the front nine.
