Phil Mickelson wins in playoff after blowing 3-stroke lead
Phil being Phil. After cruising to a 3-stroke lead, Phil Mickelson found himself having to scramble just to make a playoff at the HSBC Champions tourney in Shanghai. Luckily, Phil salvaged the round, winning on the second hole of the playoff over Englishmen Ross Fisher and Lee Westwood.
Phil said of his round, “I had a huge lead early in the round, but hit some horrible shots. I had five penalty strokes, actually six in the final round. And it was a difficult day. But I kept fighting and it’s a funny game, golf. You just never know what’s going to happen. We say that a lot.” (more)
