| 2006 Masters | |
Phil Mickelson played steady, solid golf all week and closed with his best round of the tournament - a 69 - to win the 2006 Masters. It was Mickelson's second Masters championship, and his second-straight win in a major (on the heels of his 2005 PGA Championship victory).
Mickelson's opening 70 was three strokes behind first-day leader Vijay Singh (who would wind up placing eighth. Chad Campbell took the second-round lead, with Mickelson four behind. Mickelson took a one-stroke lead after three rounds, ahead of Fred Couples and Campbell, with Tiger Woods and Tim Clark among those two strokes off the lead.
Two-time Masters champ Jose Maria Olazabal did charge on Sunday with the best round of the day, a 66, but started too far back to catch Mickelson.
