Mickelson one ahead of Watney

with nine holes to play

If Phil Mickelson was feeling the heat before the start of the final round of the WGC-CA Championship at Doral Resort, Miami in Florida today (see earlier report), he certainly was once the Sunday pressure started to build.
With nine holes to play, Lefty had edged ahead of his third-round co-leader, Nick Watney -- both are coached by Butch Harmon - at 19 under par to Watney's 18 under par.
Englishman Oliver Wilson made a unexpected but welcome run into joint third place over the final round and was 13 under par with two holes to play.
Tiger Woods was 11 under par after 15 holes.
Sadly, Rory McIlroy went backwards on the final day. He was -10 after 12 holes.
