Phil Mickelson turned around a season of near-misses to claim the Greater
Hartford Open in Connecticut.
Mickelson claimed his 19th USPGA Tour win by shooting a two-under-par 68 for a
16-under total of 264 to hold off Billy Andrade by a stroke in his first start
since the US Open.
Ranked second in the world, Mickelson has made a habit of failing to come up
with a big round on Sundays, finishing second or third six times this year.
He entered the final round with a one-shot lead and kept it, despite going the
final 11 holes without a birdie.
Andrade sank a 25ft birdie putt at the 17th hole en route to a 66 and claimed
second spot.
David Berganio Jr, Chris DiMarco and Dudley Hart shared third spot a further
stroke behind.
Briton Ed Fryatt had a final round of 68, but finished just outside the top 20
on 272, while Nick Faldo carded a 67 but finished way off the pace on 278.
