Phil Mickelson Wins the Masters

Tiger Woods falls short in comeback, finishing fourth.

Fan favorite Phil Mickelson won the Masters golf tournament Sunday evening, finishing at 16-under par and three shots ahead of second-place Lee Westwood. Scandal-ridden Tiger Woods, meanwhile—in his return to pro-golf after a rocky few months—shared the fourth-place title, after struggling throughout the tournament’s final day. Moments after capturing his third Masters title, Mickelson embraced his wife, who has been publicly battling breast cancer since 2009. She was diagnosed within weeks of Mickelson's mother also learning she had the disease. "It's been a tough year," Mickelson said. "I'm very proud of my wife, the fight, the struggle she's been through. To come out on top and share this with her, it's very emotional."
