Mickelson edges Grace in Scotland


Phil Mickelson heads to the British Open at Muirfield this week in the best form possible after ending a 20-year European winless drought with a play-off victory in the Scottish Open on Sunday. 

Mickelson captured his 50th pro career success after defeating South African Branden Grace with a birdie at the first extra hole.

Both players had ended regulation play tied at 17-under par - but a magical trade-mark wedge from Mickelson set up the winning birdie on the 73rd hole.

Meanwhile: Jordan Spieth become the youngest player to win on the US PGA Tour since 1931 after the 19-year-old took the John Deere Classic title on the fifth hole of sudden-death.

Spieth, who had holed out from a bunker on the last hole to join a playoff, ended up beating Zach Johnson and Canadian David Hearn after the trio finished the regulation 72 holes tied at 19-under-par.

Spieth earned a spot in this week's British Open at Muirfield.
