Strokes under par — which was 272 — that Phil Mickelson shot on the way to his third Masters title at Augusta. The performance was the best at the Masters since Tiger Woods' own 16-under in 2001. Mickelson withstood a late charge by Woods, who was playing in his first tournament since his infamous Thanksgiving incident, and finished in a tie for fourth. Mickelson shot a five-under par final round to surge ahead for the green jacket, three strokes ahead of Lee Westwood.
