Every year, he came so close only to fall short. Every year, the dream grew larger, only to fade away. Yet every year, his gallery of fans grew in support of his quest. Then, on April 11, 2004, for the most beloved golfer of the decade, everything changed. It is a moment ingrained in the hearts and minds of millions, a moment of epic triumph and destiny fulfilled that will be remembered for the ages. But for Phil Mickelson, winning the 2004 Masters was merely another step in an odyssey that began many years ago. Born into a sporting family, with a putter drawn on his birth announcement, Phil knew early on that golf would always be his passion.

As we travel hole-by-hole through that triumphant Sunday at the Masters, Phil looks back at the influences that made him the man he is today: his mom and dad, who mentored him on the balance between family and golf; his wife, Amy, who has given him so much happiness and fulfillment; and their three children, who remain their top priority. With personal insights from Phil's family and never-before-seen photos of his most treasured moments, One Magical Sunday is a book not only for Phil's millions of fans, but for everyone who finds inspiration in reading about a champion on and off the course.

Editorial Reviews

It was one of golf's incandescent moments: Phil Mickelson crouching over the ball on the 18th hole, then sinking a 20-foot putt to win the 2004 Masters tournament, the first major title in his career. In One Magical Sunday, he recounts that historic triumph, hole-by-hole, but in a most unusual, yet characteristic way. True to form, Mickelson mixes human interest with golf shots, insights about life with notes about club selection. This charming, companionable book tells us what golf is at its best.

Kirkus Reviews

The joyous telling of a great golf win, from one of the sport's most admired figures. No one had ever doubted the quality of Mickelson's game, but despite the fact that he'd won dozens of times on the PGA tour, he had yet to win a major championship. This was more a concern of golf scribes and fans than of Mickelson, who was very happy making a handsome living doing what he loved-namely, whacking a small, dimpled ball about groomed landscapes. Here, with the polishing hand of Phillips, he chronicles his spectacular 2004 Masters win, hole by hole, allowing golf aficionados an extended scrutiny into the head of a golfer at the top of his game. As he recounts that final round, he takes readers into his life: Mickelson is a G-rated guy, but he carries it off with charm. His family comes first, ever and always, and his marriage and the birth of his children take up equal, and delightful, page space with his golfing exploits. So, too, do the words of his mother and father, his wife and children, his coaches and friends, who get extended boxed quotes as Mickelson goes about his game. Who could possibly sneer at Mickelson's happy childhood, with a father who emphasized the fun of the game? Readers can only marvel that the golfer might be thinking about solar eclipses, spiral galaxies, or that shots made him think about musical composers-"That's a wedge. That's Mozart." But he also appreciates the level of the competition, bemoaning a shot that "falls about an inch short and rolls down into the bunker" after having traveled 200 yards. Mickelson is a freewheeling charger, taking chances because that's where happiness resides, though he's aware that a million practice strokes paid his dues. Aluminous story of a golfer having a fine old time and, for duffers, an instructive study of playing Augusta.
