SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – After checking off his 43rd career PGA Tour victory last February at the WGC-Mexico Championship, Phil Mickelson’s confidence was through the roof. Asked if he’ll get to 50 career wins, Mickelson answered the question emphatically and without doubt.
“Oh, I will,” Mickelson said. “I’ll get there.”
Mickelson echoed those matter-of-when-not-if feelings two weeks ago at the Desert Classic, where he flirted with 59 in the opening round and recorded his second-lowest 54-hole total before surrendering his lead in the final round and tying for second.
“Oh, I’ll get there,” Mickelson repeated that Sunday evening in La Quinta, Calif.
