Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28
Phil Mickelson was so excited in winning the 2004 Masters that he jumped for joy -- a reaction captured for posterity in an iconic photograph. He understands though that his jump, which barely took his feet off the ground, will never be compared to that of Michael Jordan. Mickelson believes that the jump will be the most remembered thing of his golfing career. Mickelson said of that event, "It will always be the '04 Masters in showing my Olympic jumping ability."
