Northern Trust Open Results! Mickelson Wins!

Last years champion Phil Mickelson defended his title sucessfully at the Northern Trust Open last week. It was a close match for Steve Stricker, who finished one shot behind. KJ Choi, Fred Couples and Andres Romero finished two shots behind. It was the 35th victory of the San Diegan's career, and easily one of the hardest earned.

“When I wasn't swinging well, and I needed to make some birdies and make something happen, I just blocked everything out, looked at he pin and swung to it,” Mickelson said.

Mickelson drained birdies at 16 and 17, and made a relatively routine par on the last to eke out a 1-over-par 72 and win the $1,134,000 prize at 15-under 269.
