MEXICO CITY – Although Phil Mickelson has spent plenty of time in the winner’s circle, having now won 43 times in his career on the PGA Tour, Sunday’s triumph at the WGC-Mexico Championship was different because of who was and who wasn't on the bag.

Last summer, Mickelson and his longtime caddie Jim “Bones” Mackey split, and Lefty replaced him with his brother, Tim. His playoff victory over Justin Thomas was his first victory with Tim on the bag.

“That means a lot to me. I was hoping and wanting for us to share these moments. He was awesome,” Phil Mickelson said.
