Grabs FedExCup Points LeadCARLSBAD, Calif., Sep 03, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) — A clutch, final-round performance at the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday gave Callaway Golf Staff Professional Phil Mickelson his third win of the season and vaulted him to the top of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup points standings.
With a 5-under-par 66 on Monday at the TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, Mickelson out-dueled the world’s No. 1 ranked player over the final nine holes and claimed a two-shot win. While notching his 32nd career PGA Tour victory, he also regained the No. 2 ranking in the world.
Mickelson used his FT-5 Driver to lead the field in total driving and average 310 yards off the tee. He also used the X Hot 3-wood, 3H X Hybrid, 2H FT-Hybrid, X-Forged Irons, Odyssey White Hot XG #9 Putter, the HX Tour Golf Ball and Callaway Golf Footwear with the Big Bertha Spike.
Mickelson turned in a solid performance in nearly every facet of the game, finishing among the top 10 in every significant statistical category. His driving distance was good for fourth in the field, and he matched that position in driving accuracy, hitting 76.8 percent of fairways for the week. He was also T4 in putts per green in regulation (1.640) and was T6 in putts per round (26.3). His 69.4 percent accuracy with his irons placed him at T8 in greens in regulation, and he was perfect for the week in sand saves.
The three-time major championship winner shot 70-64-68-66 to finish the tournament 16-under-par. He saved his best for the final round, however, when he birdied five of the first ten holes to grab a lead he would never relinquish.
