First round Thursday, April 8, 2010 The 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

Second round Friday, April 9, 2010 Phil 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. Amateurs:
Manassero (+3),
Smith (+5),
Benjamin (+6),
An (+11), Han (+11),
Martin (+11).
Third round Saturday, April 10, 2010 Lee 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.
Final round Sunday, April 11, 2010 Summary won his third Masters title
Fred 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). Twenty-four-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.
