Northern Ireland teenager Rory McIlroy has six shots to make up on the leaders after a disappointing end to his third round on Saturday.
World number three Mickelson carded a third-round 69 on the Blue Monster course to move to 16 under par after seeing his two-shot halfway lead eroded by a 67 from Watney as the pair vied for the lead all day in the final group.
McIlroy, the youngest player in the field and bidding to become the youngest tournament winner in USPGA Tour history at the age of 19 years, 10 months and 12 days, had been going well at 13 under before a run of three bogeys in four holes dropped him back to 10 under.
McIlroy, though, stayed composed at the final hole to make par for a round of 72 to give himself a fighting chance on the last day on the same mark as Australia's Rod Pampling and American Justin Leonard.
Ahead of McIlroy and four shots back on the leaders in a tie for third are Jeev Milka Singh of India and Colombia's Camilo Villegas, with Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen and Spain's Alvaro Quiros joining Americans Jim Furyk, Charley Hoffman and Perry on 11 under.
Best round of the day belonged to another Dane, Soren Hansen, who was eight under for the day and nine under for the week following a third-round 64.
