After posting the lowest total of his career and finishing with the fourth-best score in relation to par in PGA Tour history, Phil Mickelson faced a big question:

Does he have anything left for the Masters this week?

For those who chased Mickelson in the BellSouth Classic, the answer was daunting.

"It was a great week, don't get me wrong, but I didn't feel like it couldn't be repeated," he said.

Mickelson made a 24-foot eagle putt on No. 18 to cap his dominant victory yesterday with a score worthy of being remembered as more than just a Masters momentum-builder.

Mickelson's final-round 65 gave him a 28-under 260 total — a tournament record and also a personal mark — and a 13-stroke victory. Andy Bean (1979) and Dave Barr (1987) had 265 totals in the BellSouth. Mickelson's previous low 72-hole total was 262 in the 2004 Bob Hope Classic.

Jose Maria Olazabal and Zach Johnson tied for second at 15-under 273.
