Slimmer, rejuvenated Phil Mickelson 'embarrassed' by play last year
Confident that he has put a disappointing year behind him, Phil Mickelson claims that he is close to recapturing the form that saw him win the 2021 PGA Championship.
Speaking ahead of the Asian Tour’s Saudi International, his first event in three months, the 52-year-old Mickelson was asked almost exclusively about his game and fitness. He told reporters that he’s trimmed down to his old college weight and still believes he is capable of accomplishing “special things” in the game’s biggest events.
“I’m embarrassed with how I played last year,” he said in Saudi Arabia. “I’m going to put that behind me and have a really good year.”
