The USA Presidents Cup team is now rubbing Phil Mickelson’s belly for good luck
Here’s another reason why these annual team competitions are a wonderful change from the individual week-to-week grind on Tour.
Phil Mickelson has become the team leader and mascot on the American side of these recent match play events. This year is no different, as he lit up the International side late Friday night by taunting two of their best players and continues to be a father figure force in the team room. He’s sitting on the bench Saturday morning but that doesn’t mean he’s not involved in all the matches out on the course.
It seems he’s providing a little bit of luck out on the course and letting everyone, caddies too, rub his belly for good luck. And it’s working.
Phil standing on 5 tee having US players rub his belly for luck. Both groups won the hole. Then I think he went in for waffles and omelets.
