HK Author Part of Phil Mickelson's Winning Team
In Augusta on April 11, Phil Mickelson etched a spot for himself in Masters history when he shot 31 on the back nine-the lowest final-round back nine by a winner since Jack Nicklaus shot 30 in 1986. He broke his 0-for-42 dry spell at golf's Majors and donned the green jacket for the first time in his career."I'm very excited about the four majors this year, much more than I've ever been," Mickelson said. "I feel I've got the game now that I can play a major championship test without getting in nearly as much trouble." One part of Mickelson's equation for success is his training with strength coach Sean Cochran.
