Keith Mitchell settles for a 5-way tie for the lead at Valspar Championship

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Keith Mitchell was having a great day in tough conditions. He finished with two straight bogeys and had to settle for a 67. That puts him in a five-way share of the lead in the Valspar Championship on a tough day of strong wind and some rain. The Copperhead course at Innisbrook is reputed to be a tough test. Mitchell says a pair of bogeys sprinkled across his scorecard would have been easier to take than dropping two shots at the end. Xander Schauffele took a step forward from his return from a rib injury. He shot a 70.
