Phil plans more Major thrills

Much like Phil Mickelson’s relationship with the Majors, his first Open Championship success last year came after years of failure.

Now he’s finally got over the finish line, the American left-hander is determined to return to the winner’s enclosure.

It took Mickelson 46 Majors before he eventually realised his true golfing potential and won the 2004 Masters, aged 33. Three more Major titles followed over the next six years as Lefty played a belated catch-up with his great rival Tiger Woods, but it would take a further three years before he managed to get his hands on a Claret Jug at the 20th attempt.
