Written by BigRed
After being only two shots off the lead after two rounds at the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club, Phil Mickelson finished the tournament with rounds of 71 and 70 on the Par 70 layout.
His total score was 274, nine strokes more than winner Camillo Villagas from Columbia who celebrated his maiden victory on the PGA Tour.
After a complete washout on Thursday, players had to complete 36 holes on Saturday (rounds two and three). Here is Phil’s scorecard for the week:
| Hole | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | Total |

Vijay Singh, who won the first two events of the 2008 FedEx Cup Playoff Series, clinched the $10 Mio. pay-out with a tie for 44th. While this certainly takes away some of the excitement of THE TOUR Championship in Atlanta, all eyes are now on the upcoming Ryder Cup (Sep. 18 - 21, Valhalla, Kentucky). I will tell you all about it with a detailed team comparison in the days to come.
