2009 The Tour Championship Results

Phil Mickelson won The Tour Championship and $1.35 million on Sunday — and was ecstatic. Tiger Woods won the FedExCup playoffs and $10 million — and was a tad disappointed.

So it was when a wild and wacky back nine came to an end in the final round of The Tour Championship and the final lap of the FedExCup playoffs. On historic East Lake Golf Club's last nine holes, with countless playoff scenarios in play and enough mind-boggling numbers crunching to make any accountant's head spin, six players had legitimate chances of winning the playoffs' grand prize of $10 million.

Mickelson delivered his third win of the year. He shot a bogey-free, 5-under-par 65 under sunny skies to finish at 9-under 271 to beat Woods by three shots and wind up in second place in the playoffs. Despite his runner-up finish, Woods, who closed with a 70, claimed his second FedExCup title.
