LinkAn emotional Phil Mickelson donned the Green Jacket for the third time after a three-shot victory over England's Lee Westwood to claim the Masters crown at Augusta National on Sunday.
The world number three took command of the tournament on the back nine to pull clear of last-day partner Westwood and a clutch of other contenders with a final round 67.
He capped his victory by rolling home a birdie putt on the 18th and celebrated by hugging his wife Amy, who has been battling breast cancer.
"It's been an emotional year and I'm very proud of my wife and the struggle she has been through," he told CBS.
