Phil Mickelson won his first Players Championship after shooting a final round 69 to pass 54-hole leader Sean O'Hair. Mickelson birdied his first two holes and made his lone bogey at the 18th hole after the tournament was locked up. O'Hair was two strokes behind Mickelson as they headed to the infamous par-3 17th hole, but he hit two balls in the water going after the tucked pin on the island green for a quadruple bogey. O'Hair also bogeyed the final hole, and the mistakes dropped him from second to eleventh place, costing him $747,000 in prize money.
