At the close of the 2010 masters, Phil and Amy Mickelson shared an emotional hug following his win. It was the first golf tournament she had attended since undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Throughout the tournament, Mickelson sported a golf cap with the universal pink ribbon alongside his sponsors on it. Don’t forget: real men wear pink!
