6:55pm ET: Phil Mickelson wins his 3rd green jacket after an exclamation point birdie on the last hole. What an incredible week it has been for me in particular, as I was on the grounds at Augusta National for the first time. What a tournament. What a place. And I’m spent.
Good news: only 361 days left until the 2011 Masters.
6:40pm: Westwood makes birdie on #17 but Phil handles the pressure making a par putt from about six feet. Two shot lead with the final hole to play. It ain’t over yet. Woods finishes with a 69 after making birdie on the final hole. Strangely, he and Choi played together for four straight days and shot the exact same scores all four days.

I’ve just added over 100 photos to the HOG Masters Gallery. I also added a whole new album called Masters Odd Stuff for things you may not normally see at Augusta National. Here are a couple of samples from the 2010 Masters Tournament gallery.

Above: A view you never see, looking back at the tee from #13 fairway. COOL!
Now that Tiger Woods is confirmed for the Masters tournament in a couple of weeks, he’s doing some interviews tonight on TV. I’m calling them preemptive strikes. He’s trying to take some sort of control over the media and lessen or deflect the attention at the Masters. He’s trying to make sure that attention at Augusta is about golf.
It is notable that there didn’t seem to be much “notice” on these interviews. I found out about them only after the Golf Channel one had happened. I didn’t see it, but below I have the transcript of the interview done by Kelly Tilghman. Apparently there’s another interview or one already happened on ESPN. I missed that too.
I grew tired of all the Tiger Woods affair circus. I just want to see Tiger play golf now.

Tiger Woods has just announced he’ll return to professional golf at The Masters. I would have thought he’d try to get one competitive round in before that to warm himself up, likely Bay Hill.
The Masters is a perfect place for Tiger to return because of the high level of security and the strict rules enforced on the grounds at Augusta National.
Will Tiger win or contend? I sort of doubt it, but he is Tiger Woods.

Boy the web will be full of opinions. Mine will be coming later. I’m going to watch the apology speech a few times.
