Phil Mickelson has been Steve Loy’s ride or die since the fresh-faced lefthander committed to play golf at Arizona State University, where Loy was the head coach, more than 30 years ago.
They’ve shared at least 7,200 yards of memorable moments since, with Mickelson building one of the great careers in golf history and Loy serving as his agent, business partner and close friend.
Mickelson will be in the field for this week’s PGA TOUR Champions Cologuard Classic, which not coincidentally will be played at Tucson National Golf Course. “Lefty” won three PGA TOUR events in which the course was used, including the 1991 Northern Telecom Open.
