The Masters
Runner-up: Ernie Els
Phil Mickelson won his first major championship at the Masters on his 47th professional major start, making a final-hole birdie putt to win by one shot. Mickelson leapt into the arms of his caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay after the winning putt dropped. The win ended years of near-misses and heartbreaks for "Lefty."
