Mickelson wins, Tiger takes Cup

ATLANTA -- Golf's two biggest stars shared the stage at East Lake with trophies that were meaningful in vastly different ways.

Phil Mickelson capped off a tumultuous summer at home with a spectacular rally from four shots behind Sunday, closing with a five-under 65 to win the Tour Championship for his first victory since his wife and mother were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Tiger Woods won the FedEx Cup for the second time in three years to collect the $10-million bonus. His hopes of winning at East Lake ended when he failed to make a birdie until the 15th hole, closing with a 70.

It was dramatic end to the FedEx Cup, with three players having a chance at the big prize on the back nine.

But Mickelson was in good form, shooting 31 on the front nine and playing without a bogey.

LPGA: Sophie Gustafson is finally an LPGA Tour winner again, cruising to a four-stroke victory over top-ranked Lorena Ochoa in the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge in Danville, Calif. The 35-year-old Swede shot a four-under 68 and finished at 20-under 268 to win her first title since 2003. Ochoa shot an even-par 72 to finish at 16 under. She's winless in 11 starts since taking the Corona Championship in her native Mexico in April. Amy Yang shot a 66 and tied for third with Sun Young Yoo (68) at 14 under.

Champions Tour: Tom Pernice Jr. became the 15th player to win in his Champions Tour debut, making a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a one-stroke victory over Nick Price and David Frost in the SAS Championship in Cary, N.C. Pernice, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, closed with a three-under 69 to finish at 13-under 203 at Prestonwood Country Club. Frost shot a 67 and Price had a 68. Dan Forsman, after battling Pernice for much of the day, shot a 70 to finish fourth at 11 under. Olin Browne (68), Russ Cochran (71), Denis Watson (71) and Andy Bean (68) followed at 10 under. Pernice is the third player this year to win in his debut, following Tom Lehman, who teamed with Bernhard Langer in the Liberty Mutual Legends, and Senior PGA winner Michael Allen.
