Round summaries First round Thursday, April 8, 2010 The day started very sunny, but clouds began accumulating later in the morning and thunderstorms were expected in the afternoon; however, the weather remained fair. The much anticipated return of Tiger Woods came on Thursday, who shot a 4-under 68. This was a good opening for Woods, who had never before shot a first round in the 60s at the Masters. But the story of the day was the two Champions Tour players, 60-year-old Tom Watson and 50-year-old Fred Couples, who shot 67 and 66 respectively. Major champions Phil Mickelson and Y.E. Yang were one stroke back of leader Couples along with Lee Westwood, K. J. Choi, and Watson.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8610574.stm Tiger Woods in hunt as Fred Couples takes Masters lead April 9, 2010 BBC Sport Rob Hodgetts April 12, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100412032514/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8610574.stm April 12, 2010 live PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 USA Fred Couples66−6T2 KOR 1997 K.

Overnight leader Lee Westwood started erratically, while Phil Mickelson parred his first seven holes. K. J. Choi was briefly tied for the lead at -12 with a birdie at 10 but he eventually fell back to a tie for fourth with playing partner Tiger Woods (they were paired together for all four rounds of the tournament). Twenty-four-year-old Anthony Kim shot a blistering 65, including a -5 run over four holes; he finished third. But down the stretch, Mickelson pulled away from Westwood with a bogey-free round of 67 to win the tournament.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8614407.stm Mickelson seals third Masters win April 11, 2010 BBC Sport Rob Hodgetts April 12, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100412054114/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8614407.stm April 12, 2010 live Final leaderboard Champion Silver Cup winner (low amateur)(a) = amateur(c) = past champion Top 10PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney (US$)1 USA Phil Mickelson (c) 67-71-67-67=272 −16 1,350,0002 ENG Lee Westwood 67-69-68-71=275 −13 810,0003 USA Anthony Kim 68-70-73-65=276 −12 510,000T4 KOR 1997 K.
