The AT&T Pro-Am played out for an exciting finish. Throughout the duration of the final round many familiar names, came within a few shots of possessing the lead. Phil Mickelson had the golf gods on his side, crafting up a final round 64, consisting of some great shots and saves. Mickelson started off very quickly after going 5-under through 6 holes which included an eagle on hole #6. As the Lefty took total control of his game, Charlie Wii and Tiger Woods slowly faded away, never finding a spark of good play to challenge Mickelson. A great loss for Wii after starting the round with lead and collapsing on the first hole with a double bogey, followed by a pair of bogeys on 5&6.
The headlining story filtering its way through golf fans and critics, heading into the final round was will Tiger/Mickelson be able to pull through with a early win in 2012. Sadly for Tiger fans the day did not play out as planned. Bad drives, unreliable putter, and a few bad swings seemed to consume Tiger’s day. Today’s result was similar to his finish in Abu Dhabi. So what is next for Tiger? Well I believe after some failed attempts he will be to see what is working and what it is not. Yes, he won last year at the Chevron but, lets not be quick to say Tiger is back. He might win in a few weeks or months, winning will only be the beginning of the journey to becoming that dominant player we all love to see.
Mickelson quietly took care of business at pebble as the eyes were on Tiger throughout most of the week. This lack of media/fan attention might have been on Lefty’s favor, allowing him to play with a bit of ease. This win marks Mickelson’s 40th PGA Tour title. Mickelson being paired up with Tiger, made this win ten times better, taking on the best face-on. He proved he has a lot of good golf left in him, maybe enough to win the U.S. Open as predicted in our Bold Predictions Blog Series.
Congratulations Phil Mickelson.
