It is always a shame that someone like Els has to lose by one stroke, but at least Phil won the tournament by a birdie on a tough hole. I never like seeing a player lose with a bogey. Overall, it was a nice ending for one of the most memorable Masters I have witnessed. With Palmer walking away after his 50th tournament, Watson's caddy passing away, Justin Rose falling apart on the weekend, and Mickelson winning his first major to make two champions in a row left handed. The 2004 Masters will never be forgotten.
