Phil Mickelson is the best left-handed golfer the sport has yet seen. For many years, he was also considered "the best player never to win a major." Many media members and fans believed that Mickelson didn't have the nerve to win a major.His golf pieces is just like others.

Mickelson proved such naysayers wrong, and validated his place as one of the best of his generation, by winning the 2004 Masters in dramatic fashion. With Ernie Els on the practice green, awaiting what appeared a likely playoff, Mickelson sank a 12-foot downhill birdie putt on the final hole for the victory with his callaway x-22 irons.

Mickelson grew up in San Diego, California, and began hitting golf balls at 18 months. Although he's right-handed in everything else, he learned to play golf left-handed. According to Mickelson's website, at "age three, he tried to run away from home because his parents didn't think he was old enough to join his father for a weekend golf game at the local public course."
