Phil Mickelson shoots final-round 66 to win British Open - CBSSports.com - Kyle Porter - Mickelson admitted Sunday was special for him when talking with ESPN's Tom Rinaldi after his round. "I'm playing some of the best golf of my career and today was one of the best rounds I've ever played," he said. "It's the best I've ever putted -- it just was going in the hole." -- Speaking of legacies, Mickelson joins an elite (and I mean elite) group of golfers to have won the British Open at Muirfield since World War II. Here they are in order: Henry Cotton, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Nick Faldo (twice), Els, and now Mickelson.
