American golfer Phil Mickelson holds a two stroke lead after three rounds of the WGC-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai.

Mickelson has fired a five under par third round to move to 14 under for the tournament, two ahead of fellow Americans Nick Watney and world number one Tiger Woods.

It sets up a rare head-to-head battle with Woods on the final day.

New Zealand's Mark Brown is in a tie for 39th at even par while Danny Lee is back at five over par after a four over 76.
