Michelson shot a 5-under 67 to pull away for a three-stroke win over Lee Westwood.
It was an emotional day for Mickelson whose wife was there to cheer him on, despite her battle with breast cancer.
Mickelson told reporters, “to have Amy and my kids here to share it with I can’t put into words. It just feels incredible, especially given what we’ve been through in the last year.”
Tiger Woods who returned to golf at the Masters for the first time since revelations began emerging about his extramarital affairs tied for fourth place, five strokes behind Mickelson. Woods called it a tough day, but overall a good week.
Lee Westwood finished second at 13-under.
American prodigy Anthony Kim finished third, one shot adrift of Westwood.
