2009 CA Championship Results
Mickelson wins CA Chanpionship
Once he got onto the Blue Monster, Mickelson looked better than ever.
Weakened and dehydrated by a stomach virus that sent him to the hospital on the eve of the final round, Mickelson closed with seven straight pars for a 3-under 69 to win the CA Championship after a dynamic duel at Doral against Nick Watney.
"It took a lot out of me," said Mickelson, who sipped on energy drinks throughout the round. "I haven't eaten much in three days. I fought hard. I've been playing some of my best golf, and I'm very excited to have finished it off."
No longer the best player without a World Golf Championship, Mickelson now can set his sights on No. 1 in the world.
His second victory in his last three starts moved him to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings and to No. 2 in the world, closer than he has ever been to Tiger Woods. Depending on how Woods fares at Bay Hill, Mickelson could have a chance to replace him when he next plays at the Shell Houston Open. He's also only 51 points behind FedExCup leader Geoff Ogilvy.
"He's the greatest player of all time. I don't want to go there with the world ranking," Mickelson said. "What I'm excited about is I'm playing some of my best golf."
He finished at 19-under 269 and earned $1.4 million, the biggest check of his career.
This one-shot victory might have been as impressive as any.
2008 CA Championship Results
Ogilvy wins CA Championship
With a trusty wedge and a steady hand, Ogilvy closed out the weather-suspended final round of the CA Championship with nine straight pars Monday morning to score a wire-to-wire victory.
He didn't just end Woods' run of seven consecutive worldwide victories and five straight PGA Tour wins. He held off three other major-championship winners closing in on him.
With a final-round one-under-par 71, Ogilvy claimed the $1.35-million first-place check and the Gene Sarazen Trophy. His 17-under 271 total was a shot better than three-time major-championship winner Vijay Singh (68), two-time U.S. Open winner Retief Goosen (68) and U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk (68).
"With most people giving the tournament to one guy, it's very, very satisfying," Ogilvy told fans at the trophy presentation.
That guy would be Woods, who lost for the first time since September, when Phil Mickelson beat him head to head at the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston.
"We are glad, yes," Goosen said of the streak's end.

Tiger Woods has had plenty of success at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa's Blue Course. In 20 rounds there, he is 74 under, going 31 under on the front nine and 43 under on the back nine. His lowest 18-hole score was a 63 in the third round of the 2005 Ford Championship, and his highest was his 73 today.
Tiger Woods fired a 1-over 73 on Sunday to win the World Golf Championships-CA Championship by two strokes. The last time he fired an over-par score and went on to win was at the 2005 WGC-NEC Invitational, when he recorded a 1-over 71 at Firestone Country Club-South Course.
