Phil Mickelson has Vijay Singh for lunch

MONTREAL - Phil Mickelson has put the first point on the board today for the American side at the Presidents Cup with a romp over Vijay Singh, 5 and 4.

This could have been a real battle. Instead, Vijay left his game at home. Lefty had his way with the Fijian, making birdies at Nos. 2, 10 and 12. Singh did his part to help, making bogey on Nos. 3 and 6.

The points now stand 15.5 to 7.5 in favor of the Americans. The Internationals are leading in only three matches, the Americans in six and three matches are all square.
