As the countdown to heading down Magnolia Lane continues, Golfweek is taking a look back at some Masters history through the years.
Today, it's time to examine the 2004 Masters and the significant milestones that occurred at Augusta National Golf Club that year.
Phil Mickelson birdied the 72nd hole to win his first major title, and his celebration became one of the most iconic at the Masters.
He is the sixth Masters champion to win by birdieing the final hole and he's the most recent to do that. In addition, he birdied five of the last seven holes for the win. Mickelson had three consecutive 69s after an opening 72. It was his 12th start at the Masters.

2) Ernie Els; 8-under 280
3) K.J. Choi; 3-under 285
5) Sergio Garcia, Bernhard Langer; 2-under 286
