"A day like today is not going to take anything away from his [Woods's] greatness, he's the greatest of all time, but to have some smack talk for the next few years means a lot to me because I don't have much on him," Mickelson said
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson
It took the addition of floodlights and a makeshift 93-yard hole, but Phil Mickelson finally beat Tiger Woods in near-darkness to win their £7million (Rs 63.4 crore) showdown in Las Vegas.

Mickelson birdied the fourth extra hole at Shadow Creek to win a low-quality contest which failed to live up to the hype and was eventually decided by little more than a pitch-and-putt competition.
The five-time major winner also recovered from losing a 200,000 dollar (R1.4 crore) sidebet on the opening hole by winning three nearest-the-pin contests for a total of 600,000 dollars (R4.3 crore), with that money reportedly coming from the players themselves and being donated to charity.
