Written by BigRed
Whoever thought that all exciting events of the 2009 pro golf season have already been played must have overlooked the WGC - HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China.
Phil Mickelson had 16 birdies and only two bogeys during the first three rounds of the tournament and leads world number one Tiger Woods by two strokes going into tomorrow’s final round. The two men will play in the last group together with fellow American Nick Watney who is alongside Woods at 12 under par.
The HSBC Champions is the season’s third event of the World Golf Championship (WGC) series and is played at Sheshan Golf Club, a Par-72 layout (7,199 yds.) just outside of Shanghai. The winner will receive a prize money of appr. $ 1.2 Mio.
