WGC-CA Championship at Doral Golf Resort.

Well Phil Mickelson overcame illness to register his first WGC title at Doral resort in Florida yesterday. The new world number two shot a final round 69 for a 19 under total to hold off playing partner Nick Watney by one stroke.

Mickelson had to have emergency treatment on Saturday night for heat exhaustion and dehydration which resulted in a doctor walking the course with him yesterday to ensure he was getting enough fluids and to generally keep an eye on him.

The two co-leaders both started well and had stretched their four shot overnight lead to seven as they fought one another for victory. But bogeys at the 11th and 12th left Watney chasing Mickelson, and in the end not being able to catch him.

Another American, Jim Furyk, birdied 15 and 16 but left it just too late to catch the top two.

Tiger Woods, in his first strokeplay event since returning after injury, had a final round 68 to tie for ninth position. He started to look pretty good in his last round and I don't think it will be long before we see him back as a winner.

And Rory McIlroy had a disappointing final round of 73 but the nineteen year old Northern Irishman still managed a second consecutive top 20 finish in the US.
