Mickelson explodes, Tiger melts down

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - Phil Mickelson rallied from 6 shots behind to win for the fourth time at Pebble Beach.

Turns out that Tiger Woods was just along for the ride.

Mickelson closed with an 8-under 64, beating Woods by 11 shots in a one-sided showdown at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Woods, 1 shot out of the lead on the sixth hole after 54-hole leader Charlie Wi fell apart early, followed his first birdie of the final round with three straight bogeys.

He finished a miserable day with another 3-putt on the 18th for a 75.

LPGA Tour

MELBOURNE, Australia - Jessica Korda, whose father won the 1998 Australian Open tennis title, won the Women's Australian Open at Royal Melbourne for her first LPGA Tour title following a topsy-turvy final day.

After losing the lead with a late bogey run, the 18-year-old American fought back to take the last spot in an improbable six-player playoff, then won with a 25-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole.

Champions Tour

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Corey Pavin rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to defeat Peter Senior and win the Allianz Championship at Broken Sound Golf Club. But the shot everyone will remember is the 8-iron Pavin turned around and hit lefthanded on the 14th hole. Pavin had no option because there was a tree root to the left of the ball. The chip rolled to 5 feet and Pavin made the crucial putt.
