Mickelson pockets $100,000

Woods takes three skins, wins $75,000

? Tiger Woods won more skins. Phil Mickelson won more money. And when the first day of the Skins Game was finally over Saturday, everybody won something.

Mickelson made his debut in the event by hitting into the bushes three times, taking himself out of the hole twice, hitting one shot right-handed and walking off with $100,000 because of one good swing.

Lefty hit 8-iron to 4 feet on the eighth hole, which was worth two skins.

“You can hit the ball all over the map,” said Mickelson, who did just that on Landmark Golf Club. “Tiger played the best of all four of us. … But I was able to get some skins because each hole gives us a fresh opportunity to win.”

Woods, coming off a 14-stroke victory in the 36-hole Grand Slam of Golf, won three skins and $75,000. He did most of his damage on the first six holes, which were worth $25,000 each.

Mark O’Meara won only one hole, but it was worth three skins and $75,000. After the first two holes were tied with pars, O’Meara hit a soft 5-iron into 2 feet for birdie on the 192-yard third hole.

Fred Couples made sure he wasn’t shut out. Making his record-tying ninth Skins Game appearance, Couples hit 5-iron from a sidehill lie in the rough on No. 9 to about 4 feet for an eagle.

“I thought there would be an eagle there. I just didn’t think it would be mine,” said Couples, who earned $50,000 for his lone skin.
