SAN DIEGO (AP)—Six weeks after Phil Mickelson announced his wife had breast cancer, his mother was diagnosed with the disease and is to have surgery later this week.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported on its Web site that Mary Mickelson discovered she had breast cancer last week. She is to have surgery Friday at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, the same hospital where Mickelson’s wife, Amy, had surgery last Wednesday.
Mickelson’s sister, Tina, told the newspaper she wanted to make her mother’s condition know so she could receive the same outpouring of support and prayers that meant so much to Amy Mickelson.
Mickelson has not spoken publicly since the U.S. Open where he was a runner-up for a record fifth time.
His parents live in the same San Diego house where they raised their three children. Mary Mickelson was honored in 1998 as “Mother of the Year” by the San Diego chapter of the March of Dimes. She said at the time, “I don’t know if I’ve done anything extra than other mothers. We’ve always been involved and have just been there.”

Prayers out for Phil Mickelsons wife and mother. May they beat this incedious deisease.
Prayers up.
Oh, God ! bless Phil’s mom and wife! Father, You and You alone have the owner’s manual to these fine ladies; please work on them as if their lives depended on You; because they do, in no uncertain terms. Please, Lord...
Sadly, the MSM will consider this a goldmine and will milk this until the blood clots and bones wither into dust.
Prayers for his mother and continued prayers for his wife.
Prayers to his family and to him.
Mick, you and your family are in my prayers.
That is a lot for one man to go through.
