Mickelson's lone bogey was at the final hole, when he had victory all but assured. The win also gave him his third major in the last nine. Clark finished in solo second by holing-out from a green side bunker at the 72nd hole. Woods shot a two-under 70 to finish three strokes behind Mickelson in a five-way tie for third. Others finishing in third place were Couples, Goosen, Campbell, and José María Olazábal, the 1994 and 1999 champion, who shot the round of the tournament, a six-under 66. Sadly, Mediate fell out of contention after hitting three balls into the water and making a ten at the par-3 12th.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Y3YxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=N3IDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6667%2C8749241 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dulac Gerry Augusta's cruel twists turn on Mediate April 10, 2006 D-7 Final leaderboard Champion(a) = amateur(c) = past champion Top 10PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney (US$)1 USA Phil Mickelson (c) 70-72-70-69=281 −7 1,260,0002 ZAF Tim Clark 70-72-72-69=283 −5 756,000T3 USA Chad Campbell 71-67-75-71=284 −4 315,700 USA Fred Couples (c) 71-70-72-71=284 ZAF Retief Goosen 70-73-72-69=284 ESP José María Olazábal (c) 76-71-71-66=284 USA Tiger Woods (c) 72-71-71-70=284T8 ARG Ángel Cabrera 73-74-70-68=285 −3 210,000 FJI Vijay Singh (c) 67-74-73-71=28510 USA Stewart Cink 72-73-71-70=286 −2 189,000 Leaderboard below the top 10PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney ($)T11 CAN Stephen Ames 74-70-70-73=287 −1 161,000 ESP Miguel Ángel Jiménez 72-74-69-72=287 CAN Mike Weir (c) 71-73-73-70=287T14 USA Billy Mayfair 71-72-73-72=288 E 129,500 USA Arron Oberholser 69-75-73-71=288T16 AUS Geoff Ogilvy 70-75-73-71=289 +1 112,000 AUS Rod Pampling 72-73-72-72=289 USA Scott Verplank 74-70-74-71=289T19 AUS Stuart Appleby 71-75-73-71=290 +2 91,000 ENG David Howell 71-71-76-72=290 AUS Nick O'Hern 71-72-76-71=290T22 AUS Robert Allenby 73-73-74-71=291 +3 67,200 NIR Darren Clarke 72-70-72-77=291 USA Jim Furyk 73-75-68-75=291 AUS Mark Hensby 80-67-70-74=291 USA Davis Love III 74-71-74-72=291T27 ZAF Ernie Els 71-71-74-76=292 +4 49,700 IRL Pádraig Harrington 73-70-75-74=292 JPN Shingo Katayama 75-70-73-74=292 SWE Carl Pettersson 72-74-73-73=292 AUS Adam Scott 72-74-75-71=292T32 DNK Thomas Bjørn 73-75-76-69=293 +5 40,512 USA Brandt Jobe 72-76-77-68=293 USA Zach Johnson 74-72-77-70=293 USA Ted Purdy 72-76-74-71=293T36 USA Tim Herron 76-71-71-76=294 +6 34,416 USA Rocco Mediate 68-73-73-80=294 ZAF Rory Sabbatini 76-70-74-74=294T39 USA Jason Bohn 73-71-77-74=295 +7 30,100 USA Ben Curtis 71-74-77-73=295 USA Justin Leonard 75-70-79-71=295T42 USA Rich Beem 71-73-73-79=296 +8 25,900 ENG Luke Donald 74-72-76-74=296 USA Larry Mize (c) 75-72-77-72=29645 USA Olin Browne 74-69-80-74=297 +9 23,10046 ESP Sergio García 72-74-79-73=298 +10 21,70047 USA Ben Crenshaw (c) 71-72-78-79=300 +12 20,300CUT USA Bart Bryant 76-73=149 +5 NZL Michael Campbell 75-74=149 USA Ben Crane 74-75=149 FRA Thomas Levet 78-71=149 SCO Colin Montgomerie 74-75=149 USA Vaughn Taylor 75-74=149 WAL Ian Woosnam (c) 77-72=149 USA Chris DiMarco 76-74=150 +6 USA Todd Hamilton 74-76=150 AUS Peter Lonard 76-74=150 USA David Toms 72-78=150 ENG Lee Westwood 75-75=150 USA Lucas Glover 73-78=151 +7 ZAF Trevor Immelman 75-76=151 USA Tom Lehman 76-75=151 USA Joe Ogilvie 74-77=151 SWE Henrik Stenson 77-74=151 KOR 1997 K.
