PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Phil Mickelson defeated Tiger Woods in “The Match” late last year, and Mickelson likes what he sees them combining to do this year.
He believes the pair of 40-somethings still have something special to show today’s youngest stars.
“Even today, if I play my best, if Tiger plays his best, it's good enough to win on any week,” Mickelson said Monday after winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the fifth time.
“The challenge is there are so many great young players and so many great players in the game today, that it takes our best to win.
