TOURNAMENT RECAP
Phil Mickelson shot a superb final-round 69 for an 11-under total to claim a two-stroke victory over Spain's Sergio Garcia and take the $1.62 million winner's check. Sean O'Hair held a one-shot lead over Mickelson heading into Sunday and was in contention right up to the 17th when O'Hair put two balls in the water.
