Phil Mickelson's new swing passes test at CareerBuilder Challenge

Phil Mickelson showed off his new swing this week at the CareerBuilder Challenge – and it passed the test.

"This is an A," Mickelson said Sunday after shooting 21 under and tying for third in his first competitive round since the Presidents Cup. "This is a great week for me. ... I'm playing the way I wanted."

Mickelson made 22 birdies and an eagle this week in La Quinta, Calif. He also carded just three bogeys, including none in the final round on PGA West's TPC Stadium Course.

As for that 21-under total, it was Mickelson's lowest 72-hole score in relation to par in an event he didn't win since 2005.
