Phil Mickelson Outshines Tiger Woods, Wins Pebble Beach Pro-Am With Strong Sunday

Phil Mickelson Credits Pebble Beach Pro-Am Win To Wife's Pep-Talk

Phil Mickelson won his 40th career title on Sunday, staving off Tiger Woods in the final round of the 2012 Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The final round was supposed to be a another great duel between Mickelson and Woods, but it turned into a one-sided round of golf in the favor of Mickelson. The turning point for "Lefty" didn't come on Sunday against Woods however, according to Mickelson it came on Friday afternoon from his wife, Amy Mickelson.

"She said, ‘Come on now, cheer up, let's go make some birdies,'" Mickelson told Stephanie Wei. "She was so positive, and it just changed my attitude, playing one of my favorite courses. It was really an attitude change that she instilled coming out with her bubbly, positive attitude that got me going. I told her in the car that it wouldn't have been possible without that talk."

Mickelson's caddy, James "Bones" Mackay also noticed the change in Mickelson's play on Friday. "The crazy thing was, at MPCC he shot par his first nine holes in perfect conditions, and then he shot 29 on the back in horrific conditions," Mackay told Wei on Sunday. "I think he picked up a lot of momentum from that and carried it to today."

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012 Final Leaderboard: Phil Mickelson Wins 40th Title, Tiger Falls

After going 15-under on the tournament's first three days, Charlie Wi might have guessed that even par on the final day would be good enough to allow him to hang on for the title in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Instead, Phil Mickelson made an incredible surge, shooting an eight-under 64 on Sunday to best Wi by two strokes as he finished at 17-under.

The win was Mickelson's fourth at Pebble Beach and his 40th career PGA Tour win. He played the final day with Tiger Woods, who actually started two strokes ahead of him on the day. Woods wasn't anywhere near his best and ended up shooting a three-over 75, which dropped him down to eight-under and a tie for 15th place.

Woods made par on his first five holes and looked to be in position to make a surge, but bogeyed the final three holes on his front nine, taking him out of contention. Dustin Johnson, the two-time defending champion at this event, started at nine-under like Mickelson but could only manage a 70 on the final day. He finished tied for fifth at 11-under par.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Phil Mickelson Shoots 8-Under For Comeback Win, Tiger Finishes 8 Shots Back

Phil Mickelson matched his largest final day comeback in a PGA Tour win Sunday at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Lefty entered the day at 9-under for the tournament, and six shots behind Charlie Wi. He shot an 8-under 63 for the day, the best score for the round by any golfer by three strokes.

Mickelson's big day stood out in sharp contrast to Tiger Woods, who shot 3-over Sunday. After a birdie on 6, he and Mickelson were seemingly headed for a duel atop the leaderboard. Woods would go on to bogey three straight holes to close out the front nine and effectively knock himself out of contention. Mickelson made eagle on 6 and finished out the front nine in first place at 5-under on the day.

Wi made a nice comeback late to take second place overall. He finished the front nine at 3-over, including a double bogey on the first hole of the day, but closed the round out with three straight birdies to edge out Ricky Barnes by one stroke. Barnes' 5-under tied Aaron Baddeley as the second best score on the day.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Tiger Woods Bogeys Two Straight While Phil Mickelson Extends Lead

A pretty shot from the bunker for birdie on 12 set Tiger Woods up for what could have been a run at Phil Mickelson atop the leaderboard at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Sunday. Instead, Woods fell apart on 14 and 15, bogeying both to put himself 8-under for the tournament and eight shots back from Mickelson.

Woods hit a camera man on his third shot of the 14th hole. He hit the green from the gallery on his fourth shot, but he misplayed the pitch and the ball rolled back onto the edge of the rough. Two shots later and he finally made bogey. He bogeyed on 15 after missing a 3-foot putt for par.

Mickelson has apparently soaked all of the confidence that Woods used to have, making back-to-back birdies on 13 and 14 to expand his lead to three shots over Ricky Barnes at 16-under for the tournament. Lefty had no trouble playing the green on 14, getting a nice roll back on his third shot to put the ball within six feet of the pin from 96 yards out.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Tiger Woods Birdies On 12, Moves One Shot Closer To Phil Mickelson

Tiger Woods bogeyed three straight holes to close out the front nine at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Sunday, giving himself in an uphill fight back to the top of the leaderboard. A birdie on 12 gave him a small breath of life, however, moving him a stroke closer to Phil Mickelson who is still four strokes ahead.

Woods holed-in on a chip shot from the bunker. At the time, it looked like he would make a two-shot dent into Mickelson's lead, but Lefty made a long putt for an unlikely par on 11. With both golfers through 12, Mickelson still sits at 14-under for the tournament, one shot ahead of Kevin Streelman and two ahead of Rick Barnes and Charlie Wi.

Woods had a chance to take another shot on Mickelson, but a long putt on 13 landed just an inch away from the hole. Despite Woods' best attempts, he is running out of runway at this point with only five more holes left to play.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Tiger Woods Falters As Phil Mickelson Takes Lead

Phil Mickelson wasn't getting many mentions as Day 3 came to a close at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Saturday, but Lefty's making up for lost ground on Sunday afternoon. The back-nine still remains, but Mickelson currently holds the lead in this week's PGA Tour event.

Mickelson has shot a five-under through his first nine holes on Sunday, giving him sole possession of first place at Pebble Beach in the annual Pro-Am event. Lefty birdied three of his first five holes and then shot an eagle on Hole 6, putting him in excellent position as the tournament comes to a close. He overtook Kevin Streelman and Charlie Wi as the lone golfer ahead of the pack at 14-under after previously being tied with the two earlier in the day.

The big story on Sunday was supposed to be Tiger Woods, but he's been an afterthought on Day 4 as there are reports out there saying amateur partner Tony Romo is currently getting the best of him. It's tough to think it's actually that bad for Tiger, but he's fallen into a tie for tenth place on Sunday through his first 10 holes of play.

Only ten of the professionals taking part in Sunday's round have shot worse than Woods' two-over, though one of those golfers is Wi, the leader heading into the final round.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Phil Mickelson Moving Up, Tiger Woods Staying Steady

The 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am seems to be on its way to a pretty exciting finish. Tiger Woods didn't begin Sunday like he originally planned, but Phil Mickelson is off to a hot start in the final day of the PGA Tour event.

Mickelson wasn't the golfer expected to make headlines in the fourth round as it seemed Woods was primed for a breakout on the final day of the Pro-Am event, but Lefty's been exceptional early at Pebble Beach. They're only through five holes on Sunday thus far, but Mickelson's birdied three of them to put himself in a tie for first with Day 3 leader Charlie Wi.

Woods has simply stayed steady, on the other hand, parring his first five holes on Sunday as he looks to improve on his rankings in the world standings. He's currently locked in a tie for third place with Kevin Streelman, Kevin Na and Ken Duke at eleven-under.

CBS's coverage of Day 4 begins at 3 p.m. ET for those wanting to watch at home.

Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tony Romo Grouped Together At Pebble Beach

If Tiger Woods being in contention and a lack of sports action doesn't give you enough incentive to watch the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday, perhaps Tiger's partner will. Woods will be playing with Phil Mickelson, who like him, is a bit off the pace but still in the hunt on Sunday. Tiger will enter the day at 11-under par, while Mickelson enters at nine-under.

Both are chasing leader Charlie Wi, who is currently at 15-under. Alone in second place is Ken Duke, who currently has a score of 12-under. Both their group and the group containing Mickelson and Woods will tee off from the first tee at Pebble Beach on Sunday.

Woods is playing with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo in the Pro-Am tournament, while Mickelson is partnered with investment banker Hugh "Skip" McGee III. Neither pairing is in contention for the win in that section of the tournament, where Padraig Harrington and Irish businessman J.P. McManus have a three-stroke lead.

Tiger Woods Happy With Game Heading Into Pebble Beach Pro-Am Final Round

Noted golf enthusiast Tiger Woods is getting back to top form, or thereabouts. His five-under 67 on Saturday at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am was his best round of the tournament, and it didn't come out of the blue. He shot 68 on both Thursday and Friday, and sits four strokes off the lead of Charlie Wi. It shouldn't be surprising, then, to hear that Tiger is feeling confident and happy with his game heading into the final round at Pebble Beach.

Tiger was asked about how it feels to be in contention on Sunday once again this year, and what's different about his game from before his injury problems and his break from golf.

Well, it's a different swing. But the scenario doesn't change; the ultimate goal is to win a golf tournament. So the whole idea of making these swing changes was become more consistent and I'm starting to see that now. My start lines are much tighter now. I don't hit the ball as far off line as I used to, and my ball doesn't curve as much. So consequently my off‑days are not as far off. On top of that, if you make a few putts like I did today, and get it rolling, and had a nice little stretch there where I probably could have birdied six holes in a row, so it was close.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Tiger Woods Climbs, Charlie Wi Still On Top

Though he was playing well through the first two rounds of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, his first PGA Tour event of 2012, Tiger Woods wasn't even in the Top 10 on the leaderboard after the first two rounds. After Round 3, however, Woods is right in the thick of things. Tiger shot a five-under 67 to move to -11 in the tournament and just four strokes behind leader Charlie Wi.

Woods is now third in the tournament after starting the day 17th. Sitting in between Wi and him is American Ken Duke, who shot a 65 (different course than Woods) to go five-under, and he sits at -12. Just two strokes behind Woods sits Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, among others, and it should be an interesting Sunday. All eyes will be on Woods as he tries to capture his first PGA event in more than a year.

But let's get serious, if I may. Bill Belichick is tied for seventh in the Pro-Am tournament, teamed with Ricky Barnes. Bob Stoops is just behind him in ninth place, tied with Hunter Haas. Tiger Woods and Tony Romo are tied for 14th.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Tiger Woods Making Saturday Charge, Now Just Two Shots Back And Tied For Second

In his first PGA Tour event of the 2012 season, Tiger Woods is making a charge on moving day at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. It's the first time he's played in this event in a decade. Woods, who began the day nine shots back and tied for 17th, is five under through 11 holes at Pebble and is now tied for second place. He recorded five birdies in a six hole stretch on a golf course that he's dominated over the years.

Tiger, who went off the back nine, is now entering a stretch of the front nine where you can typically go on a nice birdie run, so his number could be really low by the time his round is over. With eight holes to play, he is 11 under and two shots behind Charlie Wi.

Ricky Barnes started the day tied with Tiger and is right there with Woods at four under through 10 holes. He is three shots back of Wi, who is 13 under in the pro competition. Phil Mickelson is still within striking distance and is one under on his round, three shots back of Tiger and five back of the lead.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Charlie Wi Leads After Two Rounds, Tiger Woods Six Back

Charlie Wi carded a three-under 69 on Friday at Pebble Beach to take a three-stroke lead after two rounds of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Wi, who was one of three first-round leaders, finished 36 holes at 12-under- par 130. Having played Monterey Peninsula and Pebble Beach in the first two rounds, Wi will move to Spyglass Hill for round three.

With the pro-am format, the entire field rotates through the three courses for the first three days, then will shift to Pebble Beach for the final round.

Two-time winner Dustin Johnson, who shared the first-round lead with Wi and Danny Lee, managed an even-par 72 at Spyglass to fall into second place at minus-nine.

Vijay Singh, the 2004 champion, posted his second straight four-under 68 on Friday to move into a tie for third place at minus-eight. He was joined there by Padraig Harrington (66), Lee (73), Brian Gay (65) and Brendon Todd (69).

Tiger Woods, who is playing this event for the first time since 2002, managed a two-under 70 at Monterey to finish two rounds at minus-six. He is tied for 17th with Ryan Moore, Ricky Barnes and two others.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Tiger Woods Shoots 2-Under 68 At Monterrey

Tiger Woods' second day at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am took him to the Monterrey Peninsula Country Club where he hoped to improve on his opening-round 68. He ended up shooting a 68 once again, though this one came on the par-70 course instead of yesterday's par-72.

Tiger is now 6-under after two rounds and went into the clubhouse six-back of leader Charles Wi (-12).

Woods got going early, making birdie on the 391-yard par-4 first at Monterey Peninsula but gave it back after finding a fairway bunker off the tee on the par-4 fourth hole, which he bogeyed. Things got cooking on the sixth and seventh holes, which Tiger both birdied and he went into the turn with a 2-under 32.

Tiger continues to take advantage of the par-5s with another birdie, this time on the par-5 12th. After a bogey on the par-4 16th, and a par on the par-4 17th,Woods called it a day. Thirty-three putts revealed a serious issue with his short-game. However, he's still well within striking distance of the leaders heading into the weekend.

Meanwhile, Phil Mickelson made a run on his second day. Following a 70 on the first day, Mickelson shot a 5-under 65 on Friday, pushing him to 7-under overall and just five shots off the leader. Keep this up and Tiger and Phil could find themselves buddying up this weekend at some point.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am 2012: Tiger Woods At 2-Under Through Nine Holes Of 2012 Debut

Tiger Woods may not be looking quite like his old self during his 2012 PGA Tour debut, but at 2-under through nine holes of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Thursday, he's not looking bad either. Woods currently sits in a tie for 35th, five strokes behind the current leaders.

Teeing off on No. 10 at Spyglass Hill, Woods got off to a strong start with birdies on his first two holes: the 407-yard par-4 10th and the 528-yard par-5 11th. He pared the par-3 No. 12 before settling for his first bogey of the season the 460-yard par-4 13th. Woods eventually got that one back, though, when he birdied the 325-yard par-4 17th.
