Phil Mickelson halves Sergio Garcia

This was one of the most intense matches of the day. Two of the most experienced players on either side, Mickelson and Garcia engaged in a breathtaking display of golf that ended in the most fitting way possible: a draw.

While Mickelson enjoyed more time in the driver’s seat than his opponent, it was an even match throughout. Garcia took the early advantage after he birdied the opening hole, but a rash of strong shotmaking from Lefty put an American flag on the board after four. The two men wrestled over the lead for the rest of the day.

Mickelson birdied the par 4 14th to take a 1-up lead into the final four holes, but he couldn’t shake Garcia. The Spaniard closed with three straight birdies to even the score with his opponent, leading to a half that left both sides spent and disappointed.
