AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Three-time champion Phil Mickelson found his scoring touch at the Masters, closing with a 69 for a runner-up showing that could herald a serious bid to complete his career grand slam at the U.S. Open in June.

Mickelson, whose last win came at the 2013 British Open, came alive at Augusta National and showed his electric potential by holing out from the sand for eagle at the par-five 15th and finished on 14-under-par 274 tied with England's Justin Rose.
