this is getting real good...go mick!

How many is Phil down by?

even

phil in the fairway on 18, birdie wins...showed good decision by hitting the 3 wood off the tee

Probably one of the best days at the Masters in the history of the tournament. Pretty unbelievable day. I'm happy for Phil to finally win one.

An extremely entertaining afternoon of watching golf. I must have seen 6 eagles.

One of the best....if not THE best.....Sunday's at Augusta ever.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Congrats to Phil.

ps. His wife is hot.

The sky is blue, water is wet, and Mrs. Mickelson is hot.

I was at Monday's practice round at Augusta. All the players I saw did not make the cut - Weir, Daly, Faldo, Mediate. Not that many played a practice round on Monday, but it was awesome being on the grounds of Augusta National. You have to see it first hand, to believe it.

How tough is it to get a ticket to either a practice round or a tournament round?

Practice Rounds run on a lottery system. You can write the Masters (masters.org)to be entered. If you don't make the lottery, you can go through various travel agencies that specialize in high-profile sporting events. My brother-in-law got me a practice round ticket for $200.

Tournament: Forget going through the Masters. Every few years they open up the waiting list. However, you can go through specialty travel agents. I did a search last night: A weekend badge plus hotel room near Augusta National will run about $4000-$6000.

Like anything else, you want to pay big-bucks, you can get it.

Hope this helps.
