Mickleson wins his 2nd World golf championship this year.

The long awaited duel between the World's top 2 golfers fizzled out very quickly when Tiger hit water at the 3rd hole and took a double bogey during the final round of the WORLD GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP,HSBC sponsered event in SHANGHIA,CHINA.
Mickleson went on to claim his 2nd World event this year as he had already won the CA CHAMPIONSHIP back in March.
World No2 Mickleson hit a final round of 69 to finish on 17 under par and won by one shot from Ernie Els who found water at the last for his only bogey of the round.It was unfortunate for Els as he was 10 under par for his round,but had to settle for a 63.
Ryan Moore was 3rd after another solid week.He was 15 under par after a closing 68 to knock Rory McIlroy into 4th place on 14 under after he matched Els course record score of 63.Rory collected 211,988 Euros and has jumped back into 2nd on the Race to Dubai table and only 50,000 Euros behind Westwood,with only one tournament to go before the Dubai final.
Padraig Harrington wasn't in great form all week,but he recovered with a final round of 67 to finish in 25th and collect 41,276 Euros.
Shane Lowry got a great start to his week with a 66,but had to settle for a share of 28th place with a closing round of 72.His 5 under total won him 39,032 Euros and moves him up to 154th in the Race to Dubai table with earnings since his Irish Open win of 144,843 Euros.
