Mickelson dedicates Masters win to wife

A tearful Phil Mickelson has dedicated his third Masters triumph to his wife, who is fighting breast cancer.

Mickelson's final round 67 gave him a 16-under-par aggregate of 272 and it was the first of his four majors - he also won the 2005 USPGA - where he has come from behind on the last day to win.

Waiting to greet him after his three-stroke victory over England's Lee Westwood at Augusta was his wife Amy, who made it off her sick bed to be at the course.

They embraced for what seemed an eternity and afterwards Mickelson said: "I don't normally shed tears over wins, but that was a very emotional moment for us.

"I was just really glad she was there - I wasn't sure she was going to be - and it's something that I'll look back on and just cherish.

"I'll cherish every moment of this week. It's been very special."

"My family has been through a lot this year and it means a lot to share some joy together. She's an incredible wife and an incredible mother. It's been amazing to have her here with me. It's something we'll share for the rest of our lives."
