A tale of two lefties at Pebble Beach ends with a twist

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- A lefty won at Pebble Beach on Sunday, it just wasn't Lefty.

Phil Mickelson is the name that comes to mind among golfers who swing from the other side of the golf ball, but it was little-known Ted Potter who prevailed, outplaying long-hitting Dustin Johnson in the final group and staying far enough ahead of the Hall of Fame left-hander to thwart any final-day charge.

To suggest that the two golfers are quite different is an understatement akin to describing Pebble Beach as a nice place.

They both play golf left-handed and do everything else right-handed.
