Mickelson holds nerve for title

World number two Phil Mickelson survived a nervous final hole to edge out South Africa’s Ernie Els by one shot and win the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions following a thrilling final round in Shanghai today.

With Els in the clubhouse following a nine-under-par 63, the third course record of the day, Mickelson survived finding rough twice on his final hole to claim a second HSBC Champions title in three years and second WGC title of his career following March’s CA Championship success.
