Phil Mickelson took a two-stroke penalty for hitting the wrong ball, costing him a share of the lead after two rounds of the Buick Invitational golf tournament.

Brandel Chamblee eagled his final hole for a 6-under-par 66 and a 36-hole total of 12-under 132. Chamblee was one shot ahead of Steve Stricker (66) and Peter Jacobsen (65), who won at Pebble Beach last weekend.

Mickelson’s mistake left him with a 3-under 69 for a two-round total of 134. Nolan Henke had a 66 to join Mickelson two shots behind Chamblee and 10-under overall. Mickelson and Brad Faxon hit the wrong ball, and each took a double-bogey.

Pullman’s Kirk Triplett shot a 69 for a two-day 138, six strokes off the lead.
