Mickelson expects 'sharp' Woods at Masters

Three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson is not surprised that Tiger Woods will tee it up at the Masters this week - and he thinks the four-time winner will be ready.

"That's a tough tournament to miss," Mickelson said of the first major championship of the season in the lush confines of Augusta National.

"I just don't think anybody would miss it if they were in it, if they were physically able to play," Mickelson said at the Houston Open on Friday, after Woods confirmed he would end his self-imposed layoff from tournament golf.
