1 2009 World Golf Championships-CA Championship (The 11 th of 37 events in the PGA TOUR Regular Season) Doral, FL March 12-15, 2009 Purse: $8,500,000 ($1,400,000) Doral Golf Resort & Spa (Blue Course) Par/Yards: /7,266 Third-Round Notes Saturday, March 14, 2009 Third-round leads This is the first time there has been a tie for the third-round lead in the history of the CA Championship, as Phil Mickelson and Nick Watney are tied at 200 (-16) through 54 holes. The 16-under total through three rounds matches the lowest since the tournament moved to Doral Resort & Spa in 2007 (Geoff Ogilvy, 2008) and is just three shots off the tournament s 54-hole record, held by Tiger Woods at 19-under (2002, 2006). The 54-hole leader has gone on to win this event seven of the previous nine times - Tiger Woods , 2006, 2003, 2002, 1999 Ernie Els Geoff Ogilvy 2008 Phil Mickelson Phil Mickelson is the third-round leader or co-leader for the 30 th time in his career. He has converted 21 of the previous 29 leads to victories (72.4 percent), most recently at the 2009 Northern Trust Open. This is Mickelson s second 54-hole lead at a World Golf Championships event (2008 Bridgestone Invitational; finished T4). Mickelson is still in search of his first career World Golf Championships Victory.

Tournament Standing Finish 2005 Ford Championship at Doral 2-strokes over Woods 2 nd 2009 CA Championship Tied with Watney TBD Mickelson is attempting to become only the second player to win the CA Championship while leading or sharing the lead after all four rounds (Tiger Woods, 2002, 2006). Mickelson was tied for the lead with Retief Goosen, Prayad Marksaeng and Jeev M. Singh after round one at 65 (-7). He took a two-shot lead over Nick Watney after round two at 131 (-13) and is now tied for the lead with Watney after three rounds at 200 (-16). Mickelson won the 2009 Northern Trust Open on Feb. 22. A win on Sunday would make this his second win in three starts, his best stretch since winning the 2006 BellSouth Classic and Masters Tournament in back-to-back weeks. Mickelson won the 2005 FBR Open and AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in back-to-back weeks; and he won the Nortel Open and Phoenix Open back-to-back, with a week off in between. Phil Mickelson has 70 putts through 54 holes (average of putts per round). Mickelson s best single putting performance was the 1998 MCI Classic where he averaged putts per round. The PGA TOUR record for fewest putts through four rounds is 92 by David Frost at the 2005 MCI Heritage at Harbour Tour Golf Links. Mickelson and the FedExCup FedExCup Rank: 7, FedExCup Points: 603 Mickelson would move into second place in the standings with a victory. After earning a total of 35 points in his first three starts, Mickelson has made up for it ranking up 588 points with a victory and top-10 in his last two starts. Nick Watney Nick Watney went 46 holes without a bogey at the CA championship before missing the green on No. 11 and failing to get up-and-down (two putts from 11 feet, 6 inches) his only bogey. The last player to win a tournament with no bogeys over 72 holes was Lee Trevino at the 1974 Greater New Orleans Open. Watney won the 2009 Buick Invitational to become the first player in his 20s to win on TOUR this season, and one of seven players from the United States in their 20s with two or more TOUR victories (2007 Zurich Classic of New Orleans), with Dustin Johnson, J.B. Holmes, D.J. Trahan, Sean O Hair, Anthony Kim and Charles Howell III. A win Sunday would make Watney the only 20-something from the United States with three PGA TOUR wins. This is Watney s first CA Championship start. Watney has been in the lead after three rounds only once before in his career at the 2007 Zurich Classic of New Orleans which he won. He was five shots down entering the final round of the Buick Invitational, which he won thanks to a 68 (-4) on Sunday. Kenny Perry

3 Kenny Perry, a 13-time PGA TOUR winner, is one of five players in the field who could pass Geoff Ogilvy to take the No. 1 position on the FedExCup standing with a victory. Perry, who won earlier this year at the FBR Open, is looking for his second career top-10 finish in a World Golf Championships event in 18 attempts. Perry has never finished in the top 10 at the CA Championship. His best finish on this golf course is a T5 at the 2003 Ford Championship at Doral, giving him one top-10 finish in 21 starts at Doral Golf Resort & Spa. Perry was assessed a one-stroke penalty during the third round. On the par-3, 13 th, Perry s tee shot went over the green and into the greenside rough. He grounded his club behind the ball, causing the ball to move (one-stroke penalty). Perry then failed to get up and down, resulting in a double-bogey. Tiger Woods In his first stroke-play event since missing more than eight months following knee surgery, Tiger Woods shot his best round of the week on Saturday, a 68 (-4) to move from T35 to T19. At T19, this is his worst standing heading into the final round of a PGA TOUR event since being T33 after three rounds at the 2007 Memorial Tournament. Woods previous worst position heading into the final round of either of the stroke-play World Golf Championships events was T8 at the 2004 CA Championship. Misc. Soren Hansen shot a 29 (-7) on the back nine Saturday to tie the 9-hole, PGA TOUR record at Doral Golf Resort & Spa s Blue Course set by Tom Kite in 1974 and 1979 (both also in the third rounds). Hansen s 29, however, was lowest score ever recorded on the back nine. Jim Furyk carded a 69 (-3) on Saturday to move into a T5. Furyk is looking for his first World Golf Championships win and first victory since the 2007 Canadian Open. Furyk s best finish of the 2008 season came here at the CA Championship when he shot 68 on Sunday and finished T2 behind Geoff Ogilvy. Johnny McDermott was 19 years, 10 months and 14 days when he won the 1911 U.S. Open. Rory McIlroy would be 19 years, 10 months and 12 days if he were to win Sunday, which would make him the youngest player ever to win a PGA TOUR event. First starts at 2009 CA Championship Since 2000, no player has won a World Golf Championships event in his first start at that event. Nick Watney and Alvaro Quiros have the best shot at breaking that streak tomorrow.

However, several players choose to cut the corner of the dogleg left in an attempt to drive a green that is slightly more than 300 yards away from the front of the tee box. Below are the ShotLink stats for players who have attempted to drive the green through three rounds. In 2008, 53 players attempted to drive the green out of 313 opportunities.

The Patriots Outpost provides complimentary access to active duty and retired military members from all five branches and their families from Tuesday through Sunday. Several players spent time interacting with military personnel in the Patriots Outpost today, including Dudley Hart, Boo Weekley, Steve Stricker, Davis Love III, Anthony Kim, Charley Hoffman and Pat Perez. For more information on all of the events taking place at the Patriots Outpost this week, please see a PGA TOUR Media Official onsite. Aaron Baddeley DQ Aaron Baddeley was disqualified today for signing an incorrect scorecard after the second round. Today, Baddeley hit his tee shot into the hazard on No. 3. He called for a rules official to determine if he could move a stone that was under his foot during his stance. The rules official informed Baddeley that he could not intentionally move the stone. When Baddeley reached No. 9, he realized that during the second round, he had hit his tee shot into the same hazard and HAD moved a stone that was under his foot in his stance. He called a rules official again, and Baddeley was asked if he intentionally moved the stone, or if it happened incidentally as he took his stance. Baddeley determined that

5 it was intentional, therefore calling a penalty on himself (violation of Rule 13.4c). Since the penalty occurred during the second round, Baddeley had signed an incorrect scorecard yesterday and is therefore disqualified. Baddeley receives last-place (80 th ), unofficial money: $35,000 I m sure you are disappointed. AB: Yeah, just disappointed. You always want to play four round and just play as much as you can. And especially in a World Golf Championships like this. Disappointing, but I had to do the right thing. Could you walk us through how it all happened? AB: I drove the ball in the right water twice, both times, it finished in the sand in the rough edge right where I hit it. And yesterday, I sort of like kicked the stone out of the way as I was taking my stance, not really thinking anything of it. And then I was within a foot of it, in the same spot today. I had the same thing, and a rules official must have seen where I drove it, so he was, like, in the fairway. And I had another good-sized rock under my foot, and so I turned around and I sort of asked him if I could use my foot to move the rock out of the way. And he said if you feel you re taking your stance, you can, but you can t kick it out of the way. When he said that, I was like ooh, I think I did that yesterday. I spoke to Mike Shea and told him what happened, and he said, unfortunately that will be a disqualification. And I sort of knew that. So it was really a matter of you deciding what you had done. Players have to police themselves. AB: That s the idea. You have to be honest with yourself. I ve got to be able to go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror. That s the great thing about this game. You know you can trust all the guys out there because you know they re going to do the same.
