Phil in the Hall

While the Barclays in Singapore this past weekend included a great win by Martin Kaymer and a controversial sound bite from Steve Williams, it also included a PGA TOUR ballot announcement.

Phil will be welcomed into the the World Golf Hall of Fame in May of 2012. Mickelson earned the honour with 72% of the vote.

His record is extremely impressive, with 35 PGA TOUR wins, 3 international wins and 4 major championship wins.

Speaking at last Thursday's press conference, Phil said: "This is a really special and cool honor, and I'm excited to be part of the Hall of Fame. I'm excited to be part of the Hall of Fame that has the names of the greats of the game that I looked up idolizing and many of them that I've had a chance to compete against early in my career, and to be a part of that group is a special feeling."

We know there's still more to come from Phil, and he wants to get to 50 career wins.

Cheers to Phil from the folks at Mill Run Golf Club.
