Phil Mickelson shocked the golf world with his stunning performance at the Masters on Sunday. The six-time major winner and three-time Masters champion produced his lowest ever final round at Augusta, clinching the clubhouse lead late in the day with a score of 65 to finish the tournament at eight under. Mickelson’s performance was all the more remarkable given his recent controversial involvement with the LIV Golf league, which has led to criticism from peers and fans.

Despite the challenges he has faced, Mickelson showed incredible focus and skill on the course, becoming the oldest player ever to shoot 66 or better at the Masters. Speaking after his round, he credited changes off the course for helping him regain his form, including changes to his diet and exercise routine to improve brain function. He also said, “I wanted something different for a lot of reasons and I’m getting a lot out of it.”
