Crumbling Tiger, Surging Lefty
It was supposed to be another great match - a healthy Tiger Woods with positive momentum looking for his first win in two years versus a re-invigorated Phil Mickelson, on the road to recovery after battling injuries and family health issues. Instead it turned into a thrashing as Mickelson shot 64 to Woods' 75. Along the way Mickelson passed third round leader Charlie Wi to win the AT&T National Pro Am for the fourth time and also record his 40th PGA Tour career victory. - more
