Phil Mickelson Wins the 2010 Masters

Coming into the 2010 Masters Phil Mickelson wasn't playing his best golf.  He hadn't won and really wasn't in contention at any point.  We questioned what was the problem and missed the obvious, his body was at the golf course but his mind was with his wife and mother during their battle with cancer.  With his wife Amy Mickelson being with him for the first time during a tournament since last years Player's Championship Phil was relaxed and it showed on the course this week.  His driver was working for the most part and his swing looked smooth and free.   His short game saved him on a few holes but what really made me happy was Phil kept his go for broke style and it paid off with a great shot off the pine straw on 13.  (Let's not talk about the eagle putt)  It's why so many of us cheer for Phil and he didn't disappoint. 

The scene at the 18th hole was one for the ages.  I cannot imagine what Phil thought to see his wife Amy waiting for him him.  She had been in bed watching on tv all week and he wasn't sure if she would show up today.   It was a real moment and there weren't too many dry eyes for Phil fans across the country.   One last thing I would like to say how much of a class act Lee Westwood was.  He spoke highly of Phil and made no excuses, his 1st major should be coming soon and the golfing world realized what a classy guy he is.

As you can telll I am not a professional writer, just a fan of golf and Phil Mickelson.  I wanted to get my initial thoughts written down.  I'd love to hear what you thought of the round.  

I had a great afternoon chatting and tweeting with all the Phil Mickelson fans on twitter (@pmickelsonfans) it was a lot of fun, thank you all for a great time. 

Also feel free to check my Amazon wishlist I don't get paid to do all the twitter updates or the blog spots, your help would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
