LOS ANGELES — Phil Mickelson held on long enough for Jeff Quinney to self-destruct on the back nine at Riviera, closing with a 1-under 70 to win the Northern Trust Open and complete an impressive collection of trophies in California and Arizona.
Lefty was steady down the stretch Sunday as Quinney faltered, and finished with a 12-under 272 to win by two shots for his 33rd career victory — 16 of those on the West Coast.
Quinney holed four straight putts outside 10 feet around the turn and briefly held the lead. However, he bogeyed three straight holes, and three-putted again from about 20 feet on the 17th for another bogey that allowed Mickelson to ease to the win.
Quinney finished with a final-round 71. British Open champion Padraig Harrington and Luke Donald each shot 68 and tied for third at 7 under.
SBS Open: Annika Sorenstam won the season-opening SBS Open in Kahuku, Hawaii for her 70th LPGA Tour title and first since September 2006, birdieing two of the last three holes Saturday for a 3-under 69 and two-stroke victory.
