The 2010 Masters Tournament, played April 8–11 at Augusta National Golf Club, was the 74th Masters Tournament. This was the first major championship of the 2010 season. Phil Mickelson won his third Masters title by three shots over runner-up Lee Westwood.[1]
[edit] FieldThe Masters has the smallest field of the major championships. Officially the Masters remains an invitation event, but there is now a qualification process. In theory, the club could simply decline to invite a qualified player. This is the list of the 96 players who played in the 2010 Masters Tournament.[2] Each player is classified according to the first category by which he qualified, but other categories are shown in parentheses. 1. Past Masters Champions (Past champions who did not play: Tommy Aaron, Seve Ballesteros, Jack Burke, Jr., Billy Casper, Charles Coody, Nick Faldo, Doug Ford, Raymond Floyd,[3] Bob Goalby, Jack Nicklaus, José María Olazábal,[4] Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Fuzzy Zoeller). Palmer and Nicklaus were named "honorary starters" and teed off on the first day at the first hole, but did not complete the round. 2. Last five U.S. Open Champions 3. Last five British Open Champions 4. Last five PGA Champions 5. Last three of The Players Champions 6. Top two finishers in the 2009 U.S. Amateur 7. Winner of the 2009 Amateur Championship 8.

[edit] Par 3 ContestLouis Oosthuizen won the contest with a 6 under par 21. There were 2 holes in one during the contest, both on the 9th hole, achieved by Graeme McDowell and Jim Furyk.[6] McDowell went on to win the U.S. Open, Oosthuizen went on to win The Open Championship, and Furyk went on to win the 2010 FedEx Cup. [edit] First roundThe day started very sunny, but clouds began accumulating later in the morning and thunderstorms were expected in the afternoon; however, the weather remained fair. The much anticipated return of Tiger Woods came on Thursday, who shot a 4-under 68. This was a good opening for Woods, who had never before shot a first round in the 60s at the Masters.[7] But the story of the day was the two Champions Tour players, 60 year-old Tom Watson and 50 year-old Fred Couples, who shot 67 and 66 respectively. Major champions Phil Mickelson and Y.E. Yang were one stroke back of leader Couples along with Lee Westwood, K.J. Choi, and Watson.[8]
[edit] Second roundPhil Mickelson shot a 1-under 71 despite missing a 1-foot putt on Hole 5. Fred Couples and Tom Watson both fell back after solid opening rounds. Englishmen Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter shared the lead heading into the weekend.[9]
Amateurs: Manassero (+3), Smith (+5), Benjamin (+6), An (+11), Han (+11), Martin (+11). [edit] Third roundLee Westwood continued his solid play in the third round to stay in the lead. Phil Mickelson shot a 67, including a dramatic eagle-eagle-birdie on 13, 14 and 15, to move into second place, three strokes clear of the rest of the field.[10]
[edit] Final roundFred Couples mounted an early charge up the leaderboard with two birdies in his first three holes, but he quickly cooled off and ended up in sixth place. Overnight leader Lee Westwood started erratically, while Phil Mickelson parred his first seven holes. K.J. Choi was briefly tied for the lead at -12 with a birdie at 10 but he eventually fell back to a tie for fourth with playing partner Tiger Woods (they were paired together for all four rounds of the tournament). 24-year old Anthony Kim shot a blistering 65, including a -5 run over four holes; he finished third. But down the stretch, Mickelson pulled away from Westwood with a bogey-free round of 67 to win the tournament.[11]
