Final round
Phil Mickelson won his first Players Championship after shooting a final round 69 to pass 54 hole leader Sean O'Hair. Mickelson birdied his first two holes and made his lone bogey at the 18th hole after the tournament was locked up. O'Hair was still in contention heading to the infamous 17th hole, but hit two balls in the water going after the tucked pin. The mistakes moved O'Hair from 2nd to 11th, costing him $747,000 in prize money.
