PHIL Mickelson won The Tour Championship by three shots but couldn’t prevent Tiger Woods from taking the FedExCup as the World No.1 finished runner-up to win the Play-offs.

Mickelson shot the only bogey-free round of the day on the Sunday as his 5-under-par 65 saw him shoot from four shots back overnight into a commanding lead. With Mickelson in the winner’s circle Woods needed to finish strongly if he was to win the FedExCup and did so with back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16 which helped him seal a level-par 72 for second place.
