“Phil Mickelson, nicknamed “Lefty,” is famous for playing golf left-handed despite being naturally right-handed. He learned to play left-handed by mirroring his right-handed father’s swing as a toddler. He became the oldest major champion in history at 50 years old when he won the 2021 PGA Championship”.
Description
PHILIP ALFRED MICKELSON was born on June 16, 1970, in San Diego, California, U.S.A. His maternal grandfather, Alfred Santos was a caddie at Pebble Beach Golf Links and took Phil there to play golf as a child. Mickelson began learning golf under his father’s instruction before starting school. Phil Sr.’s work schedule as a commercial pilot allowed them to play together several times a week and young Phil honed his creative short game on an extensive practice area in their San Diego backyard. Although otherwise right-handed, he played golf left-handed since he learned by watching his right-handed father swing, mirroring his style. This resulted in him being nicknamed ‘Lefty’, as he plays left-handed. Mickelson attended Arizona State University in Tempe on a golf scholarship and became the face of amateur golf in the United States; he captured three NCAA individual championships and three Haskins Awards (1990, 1991, 1992) as the outstanding collegiate golfer. continued..
