Lefty wins the Masters, Tiger finishes fourth


Jim Nantz’s contrived call on Phil Mickelson’s winning the Masters? “A win for the family!”

This coming from a guy who just went through a bitter divorce with his wife and “traded up” by dating a 29-year-old.

A win for the family, indeed.

No matter, it was a thrilling and emotional win for Mickelson, who captured his third Green Jacket for his wife Amy who has been diagnosed with cancer. As America comes to grips with Tiger Woods' marital infidelities, it should also appreciate the dedication to his wife that Lefty has shown throughout their relationship and especially in the last year. If Mickelson's triumph didn't provide golf with the proper image it has been lacking since Thanksgiving night, nothing will.
