Mickelson's first major championship win ended in dramatic fashion. Lefty entered the final round tied with Chris DiMarco and shot 2-over on the front. However, he made five birdies on the back nine, including one on No. 18, to seal his first of three green jackets.
Tiger trailed by one shot going into last year's final round and meticulously picked apart Augusta while his competitors crumbled to claim green jacket No. 5 and his 15th major title.
The 2020 Masters was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic with hopes of being rescheduled for later this year. The Masters hasn't been canceled altogether since World War II halted the 1945 tournament.
