JERSEY CITY, New Jersey (Reuters) - After three pedestrian rounds, Phil Mickelson put it together in Sunday's final round at The Barclays, surging up the leaderboard after a blistering six-under-par 65 at Liberty National.

Mickelson said he felt close to shooting a good score and that his seven-birdie round could be a launching pad for next week's second event in the FedExCup playoffs, the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston.
