Mickelson thriving in match-play format

AUSTIN, Texas – On the eve of the final round last year at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, Daniel Berger gave a glimpse into the psyche of a champion.

With Phil Mickelson looming in second place, just three shots behind Berger, the second-year PGA Tour player was asked his thoughts on Lefty’s close proximity.

“I like to call Phil 'Philip.' He says only his wife calls him that. I can't call him that until I win on the PGA Tour,” smiled Berger, who would go on to win the 2016 St. Jude Classic.
