Phil Mickelson played a brilliant round of golf and captured his 3rd Green Jacket at Augusta National. Lefty took control of the tournament on the back nine and played the best golf I have ever seen him play en route to his win.

Tiger Woods finished 5 shots back and capped of his week with a top 5 finish at Augusta. Woods inconsistent play on the weekend cost him a 5th Green Jacket. he putted terribly and his errant tee shot put him in some very tough positions throughout the weekend. But all things consider a top 5 isn't that bad for someone who took 144 days off from golf before making his return.

The membership at Augusta National couldn't have asked for a better week. Wonderful weather, big crowds and some amazing golef made the 2010 Masters on for the ages.

Congratulations to the 2010 Masters Tournament Champion Phil Mickelson.
