Phil Mickelson wins third Masters

Phil Mickelson won his third Masters and fourth major overall after posting a final round that featured no bogeys. Mickelson shot, -16 for the tournament, winning by three strokes over Lee Westwood. Tiger Woods finished tied for fourth at -11 in his first tournament back since accounts of numerous infidelities started surfacing shortly after Thanksgiving. Mickelson seems like a good guy to me and I'm happy that he won. This is his first major victory since his wife Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer (long-term prognosis is looking like it will be okay) and I could tell this one meant a lot to him. Phil just seems like kind of a normal guy who doesn't let fame get too his head too much and I'm really happy that he was able to win the Masters even with such trying things going on in his personal life.
