Mitchell grabs share of lead at Valspar aiming for redemption

Keith Mitchell grabbed a share of the lead at the US PGA Tour Valspar Championship on Thursday, saying he's still learning from his agonizing last-round collapse in the event last year.

Mitchell carded seven birdies and three bogeys in a four-under par 67 that left him in a five-way tie for the lead when darkness halted play with a handful of players still on the Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead course in Palm Harbor, Florida.

He was joined by Germany's Stephan Jaeger, Finland’s Sami Valimaki and fellow Americans Jacob Bridgeman and Ricky Castillo with another three players in the clubhouse on three-under on a tough, windy day in which the early starters had a distinct advantage.
