He won first place with all his mistakes
Hi teachers!
I found the sentence below and think it does not make sense. I think 'for all' sounds logical rather than 'with all'. I want to know how you native speakers view this sentence.
"He won first place with all his mistakes"
As always, thank you very much teachers.

It seems a bit odd, I agree - but the use of 'with' is not grammatically wrong here. Consider a variation: He won first place with his delicious cake. As you can see, 'with' is natural in this scenario.
