Mickelson has been the best player in the US Masters over the past five years. He has won twice, been placed third on a further two occasions and averaged 70.40 per round.
?Lefty? will return to Augusta ? a course he has described as among his favourites ? as defending champion and ranked third in the world.

Mickelson has had a relatively sedate opening to 2007 with disappointing performances at the WGC-Accenture Match Play and Arnold Palmer Invitational but scored a victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and T2 at the Nissan Open.
