The 2023 Masters ended on Sunday with 28-year-old Jon Rahm clinching the green jacket. The 87th edition of the event was a thrilling one, with several golfers faring way better than expected. Out of the eighteen LIV golfers who competed at the event, three were among the top six on the leaderboard at the end of the tournament.

One particular performance from the Masters had an enduring impression. It is no other than three-time champion Phil Mickelson. Ahead of the tournament, he received a lot of criticism, especially for his move to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf.

However, the LIV golfer shut down his harshest detractors with a second-place finish at Augusta. Even Paige Spiranac, one of Mickelson’s biggest critics, couldn’t help but appreciate his strong outing.
