October 11, 2015 by
Phil Mickelson was supposed to step aside and let some younger blood get a taste of playing for the United States. At 30th in the final Presidents Cup points standings, he should not have even been on U.S. captain Jay Haas’ radar. However, it was the other players on Haas’ team that made up the […]
