Phil Mickelson wins third green jacket to end memorable Masters

This Masters deserved nothing less than a storybook ending.

It began with Tiger Woods returning from a sex scandal, which shattered his image but left his game intact. He captivated crowds by flirting with contention until the putts stopped falling and he tied for fourth. It ended with Mickelson making daring escapes from the trees, delivering a clutch birdie in the heart of Amen Corner, and pulling off a high-risk shot out of the pine straw.

He knocked in an 8-foot birdie putt for a three-shot margin over Lee Westwood, who lost the lead for good with a three-putt bogey on the ninth hole and never got closer than two shots over the final six holes.

It's been such an incredible week, an emotional week," Mickelson said. "And to cap it off with a victory is something I can't put into words. It's something we'll share for the rest of our lives."

Mickelson became the eighth player with at least three Masters titles.
