Phil Mickelson vaulted into contention late on Saturday at the 2010 Masters with one of the Tournament’s most unforgettable surges. The man known as Lefty nearly rattled off three straight eagles on hole Nos. 13, 14 and 15 at Augusta National Golf Club. After back-to-back eagles, Mickelson, ever the expert wedge artist, came within inches of holing his third shot for eagle at No. 15.
The electrifying run set the stage for Sunday, where Mickelson captured his third Green Jacket. That Saturday stretch remains a defining turning point in his path to victory.

Since 1934, the Masters Tournament has been home to some of golf’s greatest moments. Amidst blooming azaleas, towering pines and flowering dogwoods, the first full week of April ushers in a stage unique to golf and to sport. Over four days and 72 holes, the smallest field in major championship golf competes for a chance to capture the Green Jacket and a place in Masters history.

He’s one of the bests ever!
Greedy for Crystal!
Amazing run.
Not sure if anyone has had 3 eagles in a row at Augusta. Would have been some record and achievement 👍🏼
I nearly made three pars in a row
"Come on honey"
Something you hear at a local muni and the Masters
When you’re feelin it……the target seems like it’s a few feet in front of you like you have Zoomed in laser focus vision 👀💪🔥🤩💰
Who cares? He’s one of the greedy money baggers that now plays on the goof ball exhibition league…
Wow
Shot so filthy grass needs a shower
I wonder if three (bona fide) eagles have ever been made in a row in all of golf history…by anyone?
Fun fact Mickelson was the THIRD player to eagle 13 and 14 consecutively. Dan Pohl did it in '82 and DJ did it in '09.
He “nearly” made three eagles the same way he “nearly”, but never, won a U.S. Open…
Feeling it that day. I remember watching that live. I sure miss the Tiger Phill heyday's.
Pure class.
There's "dialed in," and there's whatever this is.
An absolute legend. He has as many majors as Arnold Palmer. And gets 10% of the credit
In the zone

It was a treat to watch Tiger, but I was always cheering for Phil.
