Mickelson triumphs after play-off


Mickleson had some tough time on the back nine, but won

Phil Mickelson was taken to a second extra hole in a play-off with English duo Ross Fisher and Lee Westwood before winning the HSBC Champions in Shanghai.


The American dropped four shots in as many holes on the back nine to almost blow his chances, but playing partner Fisher took a seven at the last.

Mickelson's six at the same hole was enough to force the play-off with Westwood, all three on 10-under.

And in near darkness a Mickelson chip and putt for birdie won him the title.

"It feels amazing," said Mickelson. "I don't how it happened, the whole day was a whirlwind.
