The Masters is one of the oldest golf tournaments in the United States. It first started in 1934, Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts decided to hold an annual golf tournament. For the first five years it was called "The Augusta National Invitation Tournament", because "The Masters" was thought to be too presumptuous. The traditional green jacket that is given to the winner started in 1949, when it first started the green jackets were worn by all the golfers so that the fans could easily spot them while they were playing. The jacket then became a symbol of the winner becoming a member of the prestigious club.
This year was the 74th Masters tournament, the winner was Phil Mickelson with a score of sixteen under. Lee Westwood came in second at thirteen under followed by Anthony Kim at twelve under. Tiger Woods made an appearance but came in at fourth tied with K.J. Choi at eleven under.
