Phil Mickelson won the 2010 Masters golf tournament for the third time, with a brilliant final round 67, to close out the third round leader Lee Westwood.  Tiger Woods was disappointed with his performance at Augusta, but given that it was his first appearance after a long lay off following all his personal problems & scandals, finishing 4th isn’t bad. Sex therapy obviously doesn’t affect your golf game too badly!

It was an emotional finish for Mickelson as his wife, Amy Mickelson, managed to meet her husband at the final hole despite feeling the affects of undergoing breast cancer treatment.

Mickelson’s birdie on the 12th hole and approach shot on the 13th, showed his true Champion qualities. Mickelsen’s  experience of when to take risks paid off and from this moment he managed to open a slight lead on Lee Westwood, which was enough to give him victory by three shots.

Tiger Woods return to 2010 Masters was a bit of an up an down affair (sorry…) as inconsistency let him down, I suppose that is to be xpected given Tiger’s prolonged layoff from golf to sort out his personal life.

On a dramatic weekend with the Polish President plane crash, it was good to follow the Masters and take one’s mind off this terrible tragedy.  On their way to Smolensk, Russia, President Kaczinsky and top delegates were going to war memorial and unfortunately due to bad weather and probably pilot error their plane crashed.
