Baddeley had Tiger lets him off the hook

Aaron Baddeley gave him a run for his money, but, as usual, Tiger Woods performed in the clutch and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Accenture Match Play. Baddeley had makeable shots on 18 and the first playoff hole to put Tiger away but they just missed and on the second playoff hole tiger made a lengthy put to win. As the only #1 seed left in the tournament, Woods' final birdie was from 13 feet, and it was good all the way. He removed his cap when the ball was still a foot away from dropping, and he looked relieved after winning his longest match in his nine years at this tense tournament. "It was quality shot after quality shot," Woods said. "Matches like that are fun to be a part of".

It has been 20 years since Phil mickelson first stepped inside the ropes at Riviera, a 17-year-old amateur in awe of the fabled course off Sunset Boulevard. Lefty finally joined a prestigious list of winners on Sunday, adding to his impressive collection of PGA Tour titles on the Left Coast. Mickelson made two clutch putts on the back nine, seized control when Jeff Quinney self-destructed with the putter, and took a relaxing walk up the 18th fairway with a victory he felt was a long time coming. He closed with a 1-under 70 for a two-shot victory, the 33rd of his career, with 16 of those in California and Arizona.
