Caption Competition 195
Phil Mickelson and Mike Weir
This week's competition features newly crowned Masters champion Phil Mickelson.

Mickelson sank a birdie putt on the 18th green at Augusta to claim his first ever Major success.

But when he is presented with a trophy from last year's winner Mike Weir something seems to go amiss.

Tell us what you think the Mickelmeister has spotted and you could win a BBC Sport goody bag.

And the winner is........(dramatic music reaches a crescendo)
John Lewis from Finland!

His winning caption was:

Two cap comp editors try in vain to figure out how to use their new wireless laptop for updating the cap comp website on a regular basis

Well done John, a goody bag's finding its way to you!

A new cap comp will be published on Monday 19th April
