Phil Mickelson beat Tiger Woods to win their highly-anticipated head-to-head golf matchup on Friday — claiming a $9 million purse and a nifty championship belt crafted with 18-karat gold and two karats worth of diamonds. Unfortunately, when Phil tried on the belt at the trophy presentation, it didn’t fit.

“They thought you were gonna win,” Mickelson wise-cracked to the slimmer Woods.

We all had a good laugh over that one.

“The Match” got off to a wild start, with several streaming customers complaining on Twitter they were unable to watch the event — then, suddenly, the $19.99 live stream was available for free to anyone on B/R Live.
