Philip Alfred Mickelson (born June 16, 1970)
(nicknamed "Lefty" for his left-handed swing, even
though he is otherwise right-handed), is an American
professional golfer. He is one of the leading
players of his generation, having won three major
championships and a total of 33 events on the PGA
Tour. He has reached a career high world ranking of
2nd in multiple years.
Mickelson was born in San Diego, California and
raised there and in Arizona. Mickelson swings a golf
club left-handed, which he learned by watching his
right-handed father swing and mirroring it. He is
right-handed otherwise. He graduated from the
University of San Diego High School in 1988, then
attended Arizona State on a golf scholarship, where
he graduated in 1992. During his time at Arizona
State, Phil became the face of amateur golf in the
United States, capturing three NCAA individual
championships and three Haskins Awards (1990, 1991,
1992) as the outstanding collegiate golfer. He was
the first collegiate golfer to earn first-team
All-American honors all four years. In addition, in
1990, he became the first left-hander to win the
U.S. Amateur title. Perhaps his greatest
achievement, though, came in 1991 when he won his
first PGA Tour tournament, the Northern Telecom
Open. He did so as an amateur, becoming only the
fourth in PGA history to accomplish this feat and
the first since Scott Verplank, who won the 1985
Western Open in Chicago.
