Phil Mickelson wants to repeat Masters win

There may never be a better time for Phil Mickelson to accomplish what only three players have ever done at the Masters – successfully defend a title at Augusta National. Mickelson, who won his third tournament of the season Monday when he captured the BellSouth Classic in a playoff, is red-hot and sitting atop the PGA Tour money list with $3.6 million in earnings.

But there’s not enough money in the world to buy a second consecutive green jacket. That must be earned the way Jack Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90) and Tiger Woods (2001-02) earned it.

“It’s really cool to play well at the start of the year and be looked upon as a favorite, but that doesn’t mean anything,”‘ said Mickelson, who won back-to-back events at this year’s FBR Open and at Pebble Beach and finished second to Woods at the Ford Championship at Doral.
