Blixt Claims Second PGA Title

Jonas Blixt hung on to claim the Greenbrier Classic and his second PGA Tour title after Johnson Wagner had a late collapse.

The Swede carded a final round 67 and saw him win by two shots and he had to do it in gloomy conditions after the start was delayed a few hours due to rain.

Wagner was leading going into the final round but with a bad run of bogeys on the 11th, 13th and 15th he slipped out of contention as Blixt was allowed in and holed a good birdie putt on the 16th which was good enough to seal victory.

It hadn’t been the best year for Blixt so this was really pleasing for him, this was his first top 10 finish of the year and he hopes this will kick-start things.

Mickelson Returns To Action After US Open Heartbreak

It’s a return to action tonight for Phil Mickelson after one of the biggest disappointments of his career a few weeks back at the US Open where he came out second best to England’s Justin Rose in a thrilling final day at Merion.

Mickelson has now finished second 6 times in the event and is looking to put the heartbreak behind him this week at the Greenbrier Classic.

The American has got 4 major titles to his mane now and a total of 41 PGA Tour events and if it wasn’t for Tiger Woods he would have been World Number One for many years. But write him off at your peril, this guy has got a few more years in him yet, and he will be contending for many more majors over the next few years let me tell you.
