Mickelson set to overtake Woods

The gap between Woods and Mickelson in the standings is the smallest ever
Tiger Woods could see his position as the world number one taken by Phil Mickelson ahead of the US Masters.
The gap between the two has gone down to only 0.2 points in recent weeks.
Woods, who is back in action after eight months out following knee surgery, plays in this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational in Bay Hill.
If he fails to finish in the top two, Mickelson, who is not in action this week, would have a chance to leapfrog Woods at next week's Houston Open.
Woods has been world number one for the last 198 weeks, taking over from Vijay Singh and has been top of the standings for a total of 540 weeks in his career.
Mickelson has never filled the top spot in the rankings.
