PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Phil Mickelson is excited about the new power surge in his game.
He showed it off winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, uncorking some bombs on his way to the three-shot victory he closed out Monday. He finished eighth in the field in driving distance. He won playing a bomb-and-gouge game.
“I had a 5-, 6-mile an hour jump in [swing speed] last year, in really the last three or four months,” Mickelson said.
How did he get it?
“It's not really a secret,” Mickelson said. “It was nine months of hard work, and then overnight I was swinging 6 miles an hour faster.
