There are going to be a lot of people pulling for Phil Mickelson to win the British Open this weekend because, at 46, they know chances like the one he has at Royal Troon won’t come around as often in the future.

Who has an edge? Some very important and relevant stats seem to indicate that it’s Lefty.
