Mickelson wins green jacket at Masters, Tiger ties for fourth

Phil Mickelson came into the 2010 Masters without a victory on the season but with a lot on his mind.

His wife, Amy, and his mother, Mary, are battling breast cancer, and Phil has tried his best to maintain his own life while helping them hold onto theirs. He’s flown to Houston for treatments, even enlisting one of Amy’s doctors to caddie for him. He’s shown up to more than one tournament on Wednesday night, forgoing practice rounds.

That his game suffered was to be expected, but something about Augusta National transforms Mickelson’s game, giving him the freedom to swing from the heels and the nerve to pull off all manner of magic.

Anthony Kim shot a final-round 65, tied for the best of the day, to finish third, four back, while K.J. Choi and Tiger Woods, playing partners all four days, each shot 69 to tie for fourth.
