AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Turns out we had it all wrong.

The Masters story that really matters has always been a gimme putt away from our faces -- except we didn't realize it until the roars started caroming off Augusta National's pines Saturday like sonic booms.

The story isn't Tiger Woods and all the baggage he now drags behind him like clanging soup cans tied to the bumper of a bride and groom's getaway car. And with all due respect to the 54-hole leader of this Masters, it isn't the unflappable Englishman, Lee Westwood -- at least not yet, it isn't.

The story is Phil Mickelson, whose life has been turned upside down not by scandal, but by sorrow. Both his wife Amy and his mother Mary are in a fistfight with breast cancer.

Vince Lombardi Trophy...Lord Stanley's Cup...Green Jacket!

I hope Tiger wins. It would be great to see him win the biggest golfing event after months of controversy.

Congrats to Phil the Thrill. He deserves it. A true family man and a great win for he and his family to celebrate.
