Column: Mickelson begins road to redemption at the Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Phil Mickelson will never receive the sort of adulation that once shadowed his every step.Too many missteps along the way.But give Lefty credit. He sure LIVened things up Sunday afternoon at the Masters.Already the oldest major champion in golf history, the 52-year-old Mickelson made an impressive run at a fourth green jacket.The fans were a bit timid in their response, even after he drained a 15-foot birdie putt at the final hole for a 7-under 65 — the best score anyone posted on a brisk Easter afternoon. Yet there were definite signs of warming toward the guy who led golf into an ugly civil war.Mickelson has never backed down from his decision to sign up with LIV Golf, eagerly accepting a generational amount of wealth from the Saudi-backed tour, even while acknowledging it came with all sorts of sportswashing baggage.He wound up being the unlikely standard-bearer for the rebel league’s first major showdown with the PGA Tour, though he didn’t want to...

Brooks Koepka collapses as Jon Rahm rolls to Masters win

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:58:28 GMT

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Brooks Koepka will no doubt hear the same murmured joke no matter where he goes in the coming days and weeks.If only the Masters was 54 holes.Like those tournaments on the Saudi-back LIV Golf circuit.If that was the case, Koepka would’ve been wearing a green jacket on the 18th green at Augusta National, rather than making the dejected march from there to the locker room. He had a four-shot lead over Jon Rahm when they resumed third rounds that had been halted by weather, and a two-shot lead when the round finished, before shooting 3-over 75 in his final round.Rahm closed with a 69 to finish at 12 under. By the time Koepka slid a birdie putt past on his 72nd hole, he was left at 8 under and tied for second with LIV Golf compatriot Phil Mickelson, whose finishing 65 had sent him shooting up the leaderboard.The previous three times Koepka had a 54-hole lead in a major, he went on to win.“Obviously it’s super disappointing, right? Didn’t play good e...

(AP) — Jordan Spieth made 21 birdies at this year’s Masters, including nine on Sunday while trying to keep pace with partner Phil Mickelson.And it still wasn’t enough to win — or even best the 52-year-old Mickelson.Spieth finished the Masters tied for fourth place at 7 under, five shots behind winner Jon Rahm.But Mickelson also tallied 21 birdies, making eight in the final round, including five in the last seven holes to finish at 8 under and surge past Spieth.“I was trying to honestly just match Phil shot for shot coming in,” Spieth said of the final round at Augusta National.The 29-year-old Spieth said he made too many mental mistakes all week, saying “mental fatigue” led to 10 bogeys and two double bogeys.“I played way too much golf coming into this,” Spieth said. “I mean, this is eight out of ten weeks (playing golf). So I need to change my schedule up going forward to be a little sharper during (Masters) week.”The 2015 Masters champion said he got “lazy...
