 My Dad used to say that there are people that win trophies and then there are champions.  Dare I say that Mr. Mickleson's victory today at The Masters golf tournament is the triumph of a good husband? And a true champion? A lovely putt at the eighteenth green and a rush into the arms of his ailing wife who was able to leave bed for only the first time this week. A tear running down his cheek as they held each other.  That says it all.

Great post. Mr. Mickelson is a champion and hero in every sense.
Yes, Phil is a class act...unlike one if his competitors who fit his wife with a set of horns and himself with a mantle of shame.
Can we all just agree that this guy is a class act.
I am full of admiration for him. Let's hope it stays in the news for as long as Tiger's story has.....yeah like that's gonna happen!
And what a marked contrast to some others in the world of sports... There's hope!
The putt -- the long kiss with his wife.. a tear - and I choked up too.
