Mickelson triumphs in Shanghai

European Tour
comment on the article

Phil Mickelson has produced a happy ending to a traumatic year by seeing off Ernie Els to win the HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai for the second time in three years

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/gol...

Els was right in contention until the very end, when his first bogey of the round at the final hole cost him dear, whilst Tiger Woods slumped back to sixth place, and Rory McIlroy was the best-performing European in fourth spot.

So what do you think of Mickelson's victory and the performance of the other big names? Please give us your thoughts and opinions....

True, but i'm not convinced he's been uprooting any trees on the blue side. I think Berbatov misses being at a big club tongueout

I am so happy for Phil Mickelson, but I would have preferred an Ernie Els victory, instead.

Nice to see Els back in contention again, think he might push Lee and Rory for a major next year

much though i love ernie els i doubt he has the bottle anymore to win majors.
even when he was playing inspired golf yesterday he managed to wet himself on the last hole.i think the pressure of the situation got to him.when you havent 'felt it' for a while it is just like starting from scratch in my opinion..
you are/where a great champion though ernie!

I think Ernie is class, and bottle does'nt come into it, the man plays the shot he feels he needs to, and like Woods, they don't always come off.
