He’s 45 and going for his fifth title in his 20th start on the Monterey Peninsula on Sunday. A pretty good winning percentage, to say the least. And with a victory in what is one of his favorite events, Mickelson would tie Mark O’Meara for the most all-time. “It’s such a spiritual place if you love golf the way we all do,” Mickelson ...

Three months away from ‘home’ ended with the pleasure of tackling the Faldo Course at Emirates Golf Club.
