The 2023 Masters had a thrilling final round on Sunday that saw Jon Rahm run away from Brooks Koepka to win his first green jacket by four strokes.
You know who else made a big push in the final round? Phil Mickelson.
The 52-year-old left-hander, who has won the Masters three times in his career, stunned just about everyone with his second-place finish which came thanks to five birdies and no bogeys over the final nine holes.
There was lots of chatter from fans afterward about whether or not CBS gave Mickelson enough attention on Sunday’s broadcast.
Jim Nantz, who was on the call once again for CBS, appeared on this week’s Sports Illustrated Media Podcast with host Jimmy Traina and had a message for critics who thought Mickelson got snubbed by the broadcast:

What was the deal with “CW” comment about Brooks Koepka? Tiger Woods’ future. Why such good ratings?
Nantz also responds to whether CBS snubbed Phil Mickelson during his final round?
