KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - Phil Mickelson is looking like the Mickelson of old at the PGA Championship. 

The 50-year-old ran off five birdies for a 69 and shared the lead with Louis Oosthuizen at Kiawah Island. Mickelson is the oldest player with a share of the lead after any round of a major since Fred Couples after 36 holes at the 2012 Masters. 

Mickelson knows there's a long way to go on a hard Ocean Course. But he knows he's playing well and he has a chance. The last of his five major titles came in 2013. 

Brooks Koepka was one shot behind.
