Mickelson retains title
CROMWELL, Connecticut, June 24: World number two Phil Mickelson retained his Greater Hartford Open title on Sunday, firing a closing six-under-par 64 to win by a stroke from Davis Love III and Jonathan Kaye.
The left-handed Mickelson, who finished second to Tiger Woods in the U.S. Open earlier this month, returned a 72-hole aggregate of 266 at the par-70 TPC at River Highlands.
The victory was the second of the season for Mickelson, following his triumph at the Bob Hope Classic in January, and his 21st on the PGA Tour.
Love closed with a 67 while Kaye, who began the day one stroke clear of the field, returned a 70.
