Lefty finished at number 2 along with Brooks Koepka at Augusta during the Masters. His finish in 2nd position made him the oldest player to finish as a runner-up.

Posting some pictures from the Adelaide, Mickelson quoted, “Winning is a process and this week and The Masters were two big steps in the right direction.” Lefty is definitely going in the right direction and we absolutely cannot wait to see the magic he will bring on the green in Singapore at Sentosa next week.

The last notable victories of Phil Mickelson

Mickelson’s last notable victory came back in 2021 when he won his PGA Championship and two events at the PGA Champions Tour. Winning the PGA Championship in 2021 made Mickelson the oldest major winner ever. He emerged victorious in the major tournament for the first time since 2013 and cemented himself as one of the best golfers of all time. 

“I mean this is just an incredible feeling because I just believed it was possible, but yet everything was saying it wasn’t,” Mickelson said. “And I hope that others find that inspiration. It might take a little extra work, a little harder effort to maintain physically, or maintain the skills, but gosh is it worth it in the end,” commented Mickelson after setting the record as per The Athletic.

After winning the PGA Championship, Mickelson went ahead and won two events in the PGA Champions Tour. The first PGA Champions Tour event he won in 2021 was in October, Constellation Furyk and Friends. His second event that he won in November was Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
