Relive all the action as two golfing greats went head-to-head in Las Vegas

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson face off ahead of $9m match

Phil Mickelson beat Tiger Woods in overtime Friday in their $9 million pay-per-view match in Las Vegas.

Mickelson won on the 22nd hole, making a 4-foot birdie putt on a specially set up 93-yard, par 3. The match at Shadow Creek Golf Club finished under floodlights.

Mickelson said to Woods after the match: "Just know I will never let you live that down. It's not the Masters or the U.S. Open, but it is nice to have a little something on you."

Woods said he enjoyed the match, even if he was on the losing end.

"You couldn't have made this event any better than it was," he said. "It was back and forth and very competitive on a golf course that was playing on the tricky side."

Let's take a look back at Mickelson's birdie-putt. After all, they've been elusive.

Mickelson:

I'm trying to be more talkative, but I'm just not.

Woods:

I understand.

Mickelson:

Let's just get back into our own moods. Try and beat each other's brains out.

In their defence, they're really giving it a good go now. A whole two minutes of stuttered conversation has passed.

Woods vs Mickelson A/S (14)

Both players find the fairway on the 15th. Woods comes up way short and barely carries the stream which fronts the green. Mickelson beams it into the crowd.

At least the end is in sight.

Woods vs Mickelson A/S (14)

Woods' chip is as poor as his approach. Mickelson with the soup ladle now from the rough. It's a great shot and that's a gimme. Woods now has a tricky putt to half.
