ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) Phil Mickelson loved golf before he was old enough to walk and swing a club. It took him on a thrilling ride of major championships and a few spectacular crashes, eventually leading to his induction Monday night into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Mickelson was inducted with two-time major champion Sandy Lyle of Scotland, writer Dan Jenkins, British player-turned-broadcaster Peter Alliss, and four-time LPGA major champion Hollis Stacy.

Game On!

I have been a fan of Lefty especially in the tiger vs. lefty war...on the course. It does seem strange that golf puts both men and women in the Hall before they retire. Of course with a senior tour that extends their palying into the 70’s retiring is another issue.
