Mickelson claims first title since 2013

London : Five-time major winner Phil Mickelson defeated Justin Thomas in a play-off to win the WGC-Mexico Championship - his first victory since the 2013 Open.

Thomas chipped in for eagle at the last for a seven-under 64 but watched fellow American Mickelson birdie the 15th and 16th to post 66 for a 16-under total. Mickelson, 47, parred the first extra hole to win his 46th title and end a run of 101 tournaments without a win.

England’s Tyrell Hatton missed out on the play-off after a bogey on the 18th.

Hatton was in a three-way tie with Mickelson and Thomas but he signed for a 67 after his dropped shot and finished joint third with Rafa Cabrera Bello, who had birdied the same hole in his closing 67.
