AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Phil Mickelson in a green jacket -- even he had a hard time believing it. The final leg in his odyssey to win a major championship came down to an 18-foot putt Sunday, the kind Mickelson had grown weary of watching others make as he stood to the side. This time, the last chance belonged to him, a birdie putt that kept him in suspense to the very end. It rolled toward the cup, swirled around the left edge and dropped in. Mickelson leapt as high as he could and threw both arms in the air, kissed the ball he plucked from the cup and tossed it into a delirious crowd that felt the same way.

NEW ORLEANS -- First the men, now the women. Make it a double for UConn. With the incomparable Diana Taurasi leading the way, Connecticut's women completed a championship sweep for the school by beating Tennessee 70-61 Tuesday night for their third straight title. So now there's a new Titletown: tiny Storrs, Conn., the Huskies' home. The victory by the women followed UConn's win over Georgia Tech in the men's championship game Monday night, making Connecticut the first Division I school to sweep both titles. "Unbelievable," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "It's so mind-boggling. An unbelievable accomplishment for a school." It was the fifth title overall for the women and it came at the expense of the only other school that has won three straight championships. Tennessee and coach Pat Summitt still lead all teams with six NCAA titles, but Auriemma and the Huskies are closing fast.
