Phil Mickelson has made 30 appearances in the WM Phoenix Open over the years. His total of three victories is tied for the most in the event’s history.
Lefty, who hasn’t played TPC Scottsdale since 2019, holds numerous other tournament records, including low back-9 (29 in 2013), low 18 (he shot 60 on two occasions), low first-36 (2013), low 54 (again, 2013), low 72 (his four-day total of 256 in 2013 ties the week Mark Calcavecchia had in 2001) and most strokes under par (again, 2013, when Mickelson tied Calc’s 28 under).
Mickelson also holds the mark for most money earned in the event.
He took a little time to jab at the raucous crowds, dropping a line on social media about “nothing’s changed” after a small child went barreling through the gallery on a cart.
I haven’t played the Phoenix Open the last few years but I’m glad to see nothing’s changed 😂😂
Fortunately no one was hurt or clubs broken. 😳 https://t.co/Qch75RCQKH
