Mickelson hired Jim “Bones” Mackay to be his caddie when he turned pro for the 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach - a year before Jordan Spieth was born - and they had been together ever since .
The strongest field of the week is at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, where Rory McIlroy is the host and defending champion.
He outlasted Russell Knox to win before the Irish crowd, and McIlroy returns this year with plenty of company.
The continental stretch of France, Ireland, Scotland and The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale is the best part of the European Tour schedule.
The most famous of all was the 1998 U.S. Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run, where Se Ri Pak rose to fame with her playoff victory over Jenny Chuasiriporn.
