Pebble Beach, CA (Sports Network) - Sunday's final round at Pebble Beach was
set up perfectly for Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods to battle head-to-head.
Neither was in the lead to start the round, but that changed quickly after
Mickelson went five-under par through six holes and was well on his way to
victory with two-thirds of the round still to go.
Mickelson fired a bogey-free eight-under 64 to win the Pebble Beach National
Pro-Am by two shots over Charlie Wi. Mickelson, who had the low round of the
day by three strokes, picked up his fourth win at this event at 17-under 269.
It was Mickelson's 40th PGA Tour victory, putting him alone in ninth place on
the all-time wins list.
Woods never got anything going and missed several short putts. He struggled to
a three-over 75 to slide into a tie for 15th place at eight-under 278.
Wi, the third-round leader, fought off some early struggles to post an even-
par 72 but ended alone in second place at 15-under 271. It marked the third
straight week that the 54-hole leader failed to hang on for the victory.
Ricky Barnes closed with a five-under 67 to grab third place at minus-13.
Aaron Baddeley also shot 67 to take fourth at 12-under 274.
