Mickelson Wins 35th Career PGA Tour Event
On the verge of blowing the biggest lead of his career, Phil Mickelson turned his fortunes around in the final hour at Riviera with back-to-back birdies that carried him to a one-shot victory Sunday in the Northern Trust Open.
Mickelson went from a four-shot lead at the start of the final
round to a two-shot deficit with three holes to play. But he hit
9-iron to 5 feet for birdie on the 16th, holed a 6-foot birdie on
the 17th and saved par with a 6-foot putt on the final hole.
He closed with a 1-over 72 to become only the fourth player to
win back-to-back years at Riviera.
Steve Stricker closed with a 67 and finished second.
