Mickelson wins on fourth playoff hole
DULUTH, Ga. — Phil Mickelson is headed to Augusta with a win, his usual smile and the proper mindset.
Mickelson made a birdie putt from 13 feet on the fourth play-off hole Monday to win the Bell-South Classic over Rich Beem and give the defending Masters champion even more confidence heading into the opening round of the season’s first major.
“It gives me some momentum to take to Augusta,” he said.
After a rocky front nine, shooting a 1-over 37, Mickelson had a 32 on the back with four birdies and no bogeys, including a 10-footer on No. 18 to finish at 69 and get into the playoff.
“On the front I hit it horrible, but putted great. The back nine I hit it terrific,” said Mickelson, who needed only one putt on six of his first nine holes.
“I don’t plan on hitting into trouble next week, but it’s nice to know I can recover,” he said.
Mickelson, Jose Maria Olazabal, Beem, Brandt Jobe and Arjun Atwal tied at 8-under 208 after the final round in the rain-shortened 54-hole tournament to set up the five-man playoff.
Jobe and Atwal were eliminated on the first playoff hole and Olazabal was out after the third playoff hole.
