For phil Mickelson it came down to an 18-foot putt Sunday, to win his first major championship.
Mickelson had been grown weary of watching other players win the green Jacket as he stood to the side.
This time he would not let his chance slip away, a birdie putt that kept him in suspense to the very end.
It rolled toward the cup, swirled around the left edge and dropped in.
Mickelson leapt as high as he could and threw both arms in the air, kissed the ball that he plucked
from the cup and tossed it into a delirious crowd that felt the same way. |
After his long wait for a major championship, Phil Mickelson deserved to do a little jumping
after sinking that birdie on 18.

The Masters Tournament, golf's most unique major championship, was created by Clifford Roberts and legendary amateur Bobby Jones, who founded it to provide a service to golf. The first Masters, originally named the Augusta National Invitational Tournament, was played in March of 1934, and in 1940 moved to its permanent home during the first full week in April. The event entered the golf world's consciousness in 1935, when Gene Sarazen hit "the shot heard 'round the world" to make a double eagle on the par-5 15th hole and went on to win the title. Today, the Masters is known around the world for its azalea-draped scenery, its lack of commercialization and those famous green jackets.

| Augusta National Golf Club gets its natural beauty honestly, as the venerable facility was built on the grounds of the former Fruitland Nurseries and each of the 18 holes is adorned with the trees and shrubs for which the holes are named. The course was created by club founder Bobby Jones and course architect Alister Mackenzie in 1933, and is best known for "Amen Corner" -- the 11th, 12th and 13th holes that often spell the difference between success and failure. Augusta National has been controversially lengthened in recent years, but remains a course where a delicate putting touch is mandatory. |
