Goosen’s glory as lights go out on Monday night golf

THE sun was just dipping below the horizon when Retief Goosen and Phil Mickelson turned out the lights on Tiger Woods, John Daly and Monday Night Golf.

Goosen, a late substitute for the foursome, birdied four of the last six holes and five overall as he and Mickelson beat Woods and Daly 5 and 3 in the "Battle at The Bridges" on Monday night.

"We got killed,' said Woods, who was a loser in the seventh and final installment of Monday Night Golf, which was started to get him on prime time. He wants to take a break from these made-for-TV exhibitions in which he was 4-3 and focus on majors. He was playing eight days after his dominating British Open win. He also won the Masters and was second in the US Open.
