Phil Mickelson survived 22-hole Tiger Woods to win the $ 9 million prize at the Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas on Friday night.
Lefty claimed the winner's money with the total win. He held the lead on 10 holes, while Woods was ahead only once during the five hours of game play. Although many jokes were promised during the match, the two golfers who kept the microphone remain quite silent throughout the event.
Mickelson, 48, and Woods, 42, have been adversaries for most of their careers until their relationship softened in recent years. Both golfers have decided to put their rivalry to the test with one of the biggest clashes of this generation in golf.

Finally, it ends.
Mickelson makes a hole in the playoff hole in the third try after a shot that can not make his birdie effort. $ 9 million to Lefty.

MICKELSON LACKED !!! BUT WAIT …. TW has 5 feet for the par to extend the match. Phil says, "I do not want to win like that, let's go!" LOVE sportsmanship. Darren Clarke said: "A few years ago, Phil would NEVER give this putt to Tiger." https://t.co/LcdSjmYKxI
