Clarke offers support to Mickelsons

DARREN CLARKE is acutely aware of the life-changing scenario when your wife is diagnosed with breast cancer. Little wonder then that Clarke offered immediate support to Phil Mickelson and his wife, Amy, after she was diagnosed with the disease.

Mickelson met his wife when they were both attending Arizona State University. She was also a cheerleader for the Phoenix Suns and Mickelson was a budding golf star. The couple now have three children with youngest being Evan who was born in 2003

The cancer was diagnosed after an “extensive battery of tests”, according to Mickelson’s PR manager, TR Reinman.
