Mickelson holds off Els to win HSBC Champions
Phil Mickelson held off a resurgent Ernie Els in a tense finale to win both the WGC-HSBC Champions on Sunday and a personal battle with fellow American Tiger Woods, who faded to finish sixth.
Phil Mickelson won The Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta but, with his second place finish, Tiger Woods secured victory in the FedEx Cup and picked up the $10 million first prize.
