Mary Mickelson stood among the thousands of people surrounding the 18th green at Augusta National and saw a 9-year-old boy.

He was sitting in her family room, watching a swashbuckling Spaniard make his victory walk at the Masters.

"Mom! Mom! Come here!" he shouted. "Look! Someday that's going to be me and they're going to be cheering for me!"

Then she said what any good mother would say.

"Oh yes, Philip, sure. If you want anything bad enough, you can get it. If you want the Masters, go after the Masters."

Suddenly the family room is gone, and here comes her 9-year-old turned 33, and everyone all around her is cheering for her son.

"I remember looking at him as he was coming up, and he had that smile on his face, and I thought, 'Philip, twentysome years ago you said this would happen, and now it's happening,'" Mary Mickelson said. "Everybody's children have certain dreams. ... Then when you see your child's dream come true, it is the most incredible feeling. You feel the same exhilaration they must be feeling."

Since that victory at Augusta, Mickelson's mother sees a son at peace.

"He's looking at golf differently now," she said. "It is fun. It's really fun. That's always important when you want to pull off the shots that you want to do.''
