Where have you gone, Brandel Chamblee?

Robert Allenby, the 2001 Nissan winner, birdied the par-5 No. 11 from six feet, pulling within a stroke of Phil Mickelson, only for Mickelson to birdie the same hole with a two-put from 18 feet. Mickelson is -17, Allenby -15, Ernie Els -13. Allenby won the '01 tournament in a six-way playoff. Of losers Brandel Chamblee, Toshi Izawa, Dennis Paulson, Jeff Sluman and Bob Tway, all either skipped this year's Nissan or missed the cut.
