Phil Mickelson loved golf before he was old enough to walk and swing a club. It took him on a thrilling ride of major championships and a few spectacular crashes, eventually leading to his induction Monday night into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Mickelson was inducted with two-time major champion Sandy Lyle of Scotland, writer Dan Jenkins, British player-turned-broadcaster Peter Alliss, and four-time LPGA major champion Hollis Stacy. That brought membership in the Hall of Fame to 141, nearly half of them since it moved to the World Golf Village in 1998.
It was the second straight year that a player still among the top 20 in the world ranking went into the Hall of Fame -- Mickelson this year, Ernie Els in 2011. Lefty allowed himself to pause for a night to reflect on two decades of golf, starting with his first PGA Tour win while still at Arizona State.
