Mickelson takes victory at Pebble Beach

After three shaky starts and a dismal second half of 2006, Phil Mickelson finally answered the critics to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am by five strokes last night.

Mickelson shot a final round six-under-par 66 to finish on 20 under (268) ahead of Kevin Sutherland, with John Mallinger a further shot back.
