Mickelson gearing up for PGA with a practice round at Hazeltine | Golf News and Tour Information [Video]

A Phil Mickelson advance scouting trip to a major venue has become a standard part of the player’s preparation in recent years. What makes his appearance today at Hazeltine, where he is playing a practice round in preparation for next month’s PGA, so noteworthy is that Mickelson has not played a tournament since his second-place finish at the U.S. Open.

In the intervening months, Mickelson has tended to his wife and mother, both of whom are being treated for breast cancer.
