hil Mickelson now has 33 TOUR wins
under his belt after he claimed the 2008
Northern Trust Open with a two-shot victory
over Jeff Quinney. Mickelson had
another stellar year in 2007, winning three times
and earning a career-high $5,819,988, which pushed
his career earnings past the $45-million mark. His
first victory of the year came at the AT&T Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am and the following week,
Mickelson lost in a playoff at the Northern Trust
Open to finish second to winner Charles Howell III.
Mickelson shot a 65 at the EDS Byron Nelson
Championship to finish T3 and one week later, he
recorded his second straight T3 finish at the
Wachovia Championship. Three months later,
Mickelson overcame a one-stroke deficit to 54-hole
leader Sean O’Hair to win THE PLAYERS
Championship in his 14th career start at the TPC
Sawgrass. Mickelson earned his third victory of the
season at the Deutsche Bank Championship in a
showdown with Tiger Woods. He held off Woods
down the stretch at the TPC Boston with a 5-under
66 to win by two strokes over Woods, Arron
Oberholser and Brett Wetterich. It was his 17th different
tournament win on TOUR and the 32nd of
his career. Mickelson competed in three of the four
PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup events and
finished third in season-long points.
