Wow. I woke up yesterday at 6:30 to watch the entire final round of the British Open. So glad I did, too. Most of the morning the story line was the 54 hole leader, Lee Westwood, trying to hold off the field. At different points Tiger, Stenson, Mahan, and Scott all seemed like they were going to take over. As the morning wore on, Westwood faltered and Ian Poulter made a late run (-5 in holes 9 through 13) and ended up posting a +1 in the clubhouse while the back group was just making the turn. While the rest of the field started dropping strokes (the course played tougher in the afternoon once again), eventual winner Phil Mickelson just destroyed the back 9, and by Hole 16 it was apparent he was on a mission. He ended up firing a -5 66, which was the tournament low.
Here is Mickleson's scorecard card from yesterday. Birdie-Birdie finish is championship caliber.
