Amid plenty of sunlight and no drama, Phil Mickelson finished off a 7-under 65 and won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Monday in Pebble Beach, Calif.
Mickelson played two holes just as well as he played the previous 16, finishing bogey-free and with the same three-shot margin that he had when darkness kept him and Paul Casey from finishing Sunday.
Mickelson, 48, won at Pebble Beach for the fifth time, matching the record set by Mark O'Meara, and he won his 44th title overall. With his first victory in the U.S. in six years, he joined Tiger Woods as the only players to surpass $90 million in career earnings.
"I have believed for some time that if I play at my best, it will be good enough to win tournaments," Mickelson said. "The challenge is getting myself to play my best. It's a lot more work off the course, it's more time in the gym. … And so it's gratifying to see the results."
Mickelson finished at 19-under 268 and won $1,368,000. Casey, who insisted Sunday it was too dark to finish, made Monday worthwhile when he birdied No. 18 for a 71 to finish alone in second. He won $820,800; that birdie putt was worth $152,000.
