DORAL, Fla. -- Phil Mickelson was treated last night in a Doral urgent care center for what the attending physician called "heat exhaustion and mild dehydration."

Mickelson, the World Golf Championships-CA Championship co-leader after three rounds, was lethargic after play Saturday and his condition deteriorated rapidly. At 9 p.m. he was admitted to Baptist Medical Plaza at Doral where he received two bags of IV solution.

Tied for the lead at 16 under, Mickelson and Nick Watney are scheduled to play at 2:45 this afternoon. Each has won once already this season, Mickelson at the Northern Trust Open, Watney at the Buick Invitational.
