Phil Mickelson surged to the lead with three birdies and an eagle on the first six holes in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Sunday and then staged a sensational back-nine putting show to roll to his 40th career victory. Mickelson shot a sizzling 8-under par 64 at Pebble Beach Golf Links to come from six shots off the pace and win his fourth AT&T title by two shots over third-round leader Charlie Wi. Meanwhile, Mickelson's playing partner, Tiger Woods, belly-flopped in his attempt to win his first official tournament in more than two years, missing several easy birdie and par putts and shooting a 3-over 75 to finish tied for 15th, a distant nine shots behind the winner.
