Phil Mickelson
The “lefty” legend of golf
Phil Mickelson is one of golf’s most charismatic and accomplished figures, his career a testament to his skill, perseverance and unwavering passion for the game.
This is an incredible feeling because I just believed that it was possible, but yet everything was saying it wasn’t and I hope that others find that inspiration. It might take a little bit of extra work, a little bit of harder effort to maintain physically or maintain the skills, but gosh, is it worth it in the end, and I am so appreciative to be holding this Wanamaker Trophy.
