Mickelson signs off with a magic 59

PHIL MICKELSON ended his magical year with golf's magic number. The Masters champion shot a 13-under 59 to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, a two-day competition for the year's four major winners.

"It was certainly unexpected", said Mickelson, who hadn't touched a club for two weeks before the tournament. "I didn't hit it great today and somehow I shot 59. So go figure. It just all kind of came together."

Al Geiberger, Chip Beck and David Duval are the only players to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour, and Annika Sorenstam shot a 59 on the LPGA Tour. Mickelson's score will not count in the record books because the PGA Grand Slam is not an official event.
