Mickelson Shines at Augusta

Phil Mickelson showed the heart of a champion today at Augusta, posting a final round 67 in a display of amazing shotmaking. I think this sets up a U.S. Open that could turn out to be an epic battle between the two best players in the world, Phil and Tiger. Well, at least we can all hope this will be the case. Tiger gave no indication what his schedule may be going forward, but I think it is almost assured that he plays at Pebble Beach, scene of his most dominating major victory.

This was a great tournament all the way around, with terrific stories each day. From Arnie's long putt in the Par 3 contest on Wednesday, Watson's 67 and Couples' 66 on Thursday, to Mickelson's turnaround on Saturday and victory on Sunday, this will be a Masters to remember. This is what makes golf the greatest game.
