Mickelson "3 Wins Already in 4 Tournaments"..."I Am the Senior Tour Golf Emperor"

Champions Tour Constellation Purik & Friends Victory, Jimenez Runner-up, Choi Kyung-ju Slips to 63rd Place

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] "75% chance of winning."

The ‘51-year-old veteran’ Phil Mickelson (USA, photo) is dominating the PGA Champions (Senior) Tour. On the final day of the Constellation Furyk & Friends (total prize money $2 million) held at Timuquana Golf Club (par 72) in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, on the 11th (Korean time), he added 4 under par to secure a 2-stroke victory (15 under par 201 strokes). It is remarkable that he has already won 3 times in just 4 tournaments. The winner's prize money is $300,000 (36 million KRW).

Mickelson joined the Champions Tour, which is only open to players aged 50 and over, in August last year and immediately won his debut event (Charles Schwab Series), sweeping up to the Dominion Energy Charity Classic in October. His tied 20th place at the Cologuard Classic last February was considered a relatively poor performance. On this day, he relied on a maximum drive of 317 yards, recording 6 birdies and 1 double bogey. Miguel ?ngel Jim?nez (Spain) finished as runner-up (13 under par 203 strokes), and ‘Tank’ Choi Kyung-joo (51, SK Telecom) remained in 63rd place (4 over par 220 strokes).

It is noteworthy that Mickelson still competes on the PGA Tour simultaneously. He is not fully committed to the Champions Tour. In May, he won the PGA Championship, setting a new milestone as the ‘oldest major champion,’ and since winning the Northern Telecom as an amateur in January 1991, he has reached a total of 45 wins over 30 years and 4 months, breaking Raymond Floyd’s (USA) longest winning span record of 28 years and 11 months. He finished tied for 36th at the Fortinet Championship, the opening event of the 2021/2022 PGA Tour season.
