Mickelson last-hole magic wins him
Crowne Plaza Invitational

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Phil Mickelson conjured up a piece of magic at the final hole to win the Crowne Plaza Invitational on Sunday.
Seemingly stymied by a clump of trees after a poor drive at the par-4 18th, Mickelson hoisted a wedge over the trouble, his ball landing on the front of the green and trickling up to within nine feet.
He read his birdie putt perfectly, knocking it home to clinch a one-stroke victory over Rod Pampling and Tim Clark after an exciting final round at Colonial Country Club.
"You have to take risks to win and I tried to do that," said Mickelson, explaining that he had to thread his ball over one tree and under another.
"I'm as surprised as anybody I was able to make a 3 from over there. I'm thinking if I make par and get into a play-off, that would be great.
"It wasn't like it was an easy shot, but it came off. It was one of my more memorable ones."
Mickelson carded 68 to finish at 14-under-par 266 for his 34th victory on the PGA Tour.
Pampling led for most of the final round, and was one stroke ahead with two holes left, but he pushed his drive into a hazard at the par-four 17th and had to take a penalty stroke.
He did well to salvage a bogey in the end, falling back into a three-way tie for the lead going to the last.
But Pampling, after a great drive at the 18th, hit a poor second shot and left his birdie putt nearly five feet short. But he holed out to shoot 68 and tie for second with Clark (66).
