Mickelson Wins CA Championship

Mickelson is continuing his ride to the top with yesterdays win at the CA Championship at Doral Florida. Nick Watney was closing in but needed a birdie on the 18th hole, which yielded only three in the final round, Watney thought his 30-footer was good until it stopped one turn away.

"I'll get over this," Watney said. "It's a positive week. I played really well. Beat 78 of the best players in the world. Beat Tiger, which is always good. I'm very pleased with the way I'm playing."

Mickelson fell behind for only one hole with a bogey at No. 4. And on No. 7 built a two-shot lead when Watney made bogey from the bunker. Mickelson ripped a 3-wood from 256 yards over the water just over the par-5 eighth green for a birdie.

Mickelson won for the second time in three starts and moved to No. 2 in the world ranking, as close to Tiger Woods as he has ever been. Depending on how Woods fares at Bay Hill, Mickelson might have a chance to go to No. 1 when he plays again.
