[UPDATE} Phil Mickelson surges to first British Open title with 66
GULLANE, Scotland, July 21 () -- Phil Mickelson roared to a three-stroke victory in the British Open Sunday with a sterling round of 5-under 66 that included birdies on his final two holes.Mickelson strolled off the 18th green to the roar of the crowd after dropping in a 12-foot putt that virtually clinched his first British Open championship and fifth overall major victory. He finished at 3-under-par 281, three better than Henrik Stenson (1-under 70)."Today's round will be one of the most memorable rounds of golf I've ever played," Mickelson said.Lee Westwood,[url=http://www.findola.com/]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url], who led after three rounds, was derailed by five bogeys Sunday en route to a 4-over 75 and a third-place finish for the tournament, sharing the third spot with Masters champion Adam Scott (72) and Ian Poulter (67).Mickelson's 66 was the low round of the tournament and included a highlight reel of crowd-pleasing shots."I putted amazing today and hit it as well as I ever have,[url=http://www.findola.com/]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url]," he said.Mickelson, who won the Scottish Open last weekend, closed with birdies on four of his final six holes. He reached the 18th green in two with a fairway wood on the par-five 17th, then two-putted from 35 feet for birdie.Three-time champion Tiger Woods, meanwhile, turned in a ho-hum final round, carding a 3-over 74 to share sixth place at 2-over-par 286 with Masters champ Zach Johnson (72) and Hideki Matsuyama (70).The front nine had shaped up as a three-way battle between Westwood, Scott and Stenson before Mickelson began his late surge with a birdie on No. 13.Scott opened the door for him by stumbling to four straight bogeys from No. 13.
