There was good news for Callaway Golf Staff Professional Phil Mickelson yesterday as he turned back challenges from a parade of global all-star golfers and won his second Masters title, his second straight major championship and third major championship in three years.

As he did last week when he blitzed the field by 13 strokes at the BellSouth Classic outside Atlanta, Mickelson, 35, chose to employ two Big Bertha® Fusion® FT-3™ Drivers at Augusta – a 9.5 draw-weighted configuration with a 46-inch shaft for longer drives and a 9.5 fade-configuration with a 45-inch shaft for drives requiring a controlled fade. He drove the ball powerfully all week, averaging nearly 300 yards off the tee and pounding drive after drive deep into the fairways as he came down the stretch on Sunday, closing with a 69 at Augusta National Golf Club for a 7-under-par total of 281, two strokes clear of the field.

“It was huge…it was a huge help,” Mickelson said of his successful use of the two Fusion FT-3 Drivers. “I worked with the technicians over at Callaway Golf and I got 20-to-25 yards more with the FT-3 that draws. I needed it to combat the added length here at Augusta.”

Also in Mickelson’s bag were the Callaway Golf® X Fairway Woods, X-Tour® Irons, the new X-Tour® Wedges with Mack Daddy Grooves, the new HX® Tour Golf Ball and Odyssey® White Hot XG™ Putter with the new multi-layer insert.
