Phil Mickelson suffers another late round meltdown; Vijay Singh survives yips to win WGC Bridgestone

The bugaboos came back for Phil Mickelson late in the final round of the Bridgestone. Phil bogeyed 3 of the last 4 holes to squander away the lead. Hiring Butch Harmon doesn't appear to have helped the inconvenient slice in Phil's driver that creeps up at the worst moment.

VIjay Singh, meanwhile, survived terrible putting woes (read yips) that helped him to miss 3 putts within 8 feet on the back nine. Singh made a clutch 3 1/2 foot putt on the final hole to seal the win at -10. Lee Westwood and Stuart Appleby finished at -9.

I'm a big Vijay fan. Hoping he'll be back in contention soon.

I'm such a huge Phil fan. It just kills me when he implodes down the stretch. I kind of expect nowadays though.

It can be so frustrating seeing a top golfer just not performing on the greens where so many games and titles are won and lost.

I always prefer to see someone win it rather than someone losing it on the last 4 holes and undoing all their good work up to that point....but then i guess thats golf!!
