PHOENIX (AP) — Phil Mickelson birdied three of the final holes to win the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
Mickelson shot a 6-under 65 at Phoenix Country Club, getting up-and-down from short of the par-5 18th for birdie to reach 19 under. He joined Jack Nicklaus as the only player to win four of his first six PGA Tour Champions starts.
Bernhard Langer battled back pain all weekend, but labored through a 2-under 69 to win his sixth PGA Tour Champions season points title.
Nelly Korda overcomes triple bogey to win LPGA in playoff
BELLEAIR, Fla. (AP) — Right when it looked as though Nelly Korda had thrown away her chance to win, she recovered to win a four-way playoff.
Korda was tied for the lead when she made triple bogey on the 17th hole. But the 23-year-old American birdied the 18th. That got her into a playoff at the Pelican Women’s Championship when Lexi Thompson finished bogey-bogey. It all set up a four-way playoff with Sei Young Kim and Lydia Ko.
Korda ended it quickly with a 12-foot birdie on the first extra hole. It was her fourth win of the year.
