Corey Pavin reveals fears about Phil Mickelson
AMERICAN captain Corey Pavin yesterday revealed his fear that he may not be able to call upon in-form Phil Mickelson for the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor in September.
World No2 Mickelson, 39, heads the US Ryder Cup qualification table after winning his third Masters title at Augusta last Sunday.
But for most of the past year Mickelson’s golfing schedule has been overshadowed by his worry for wife Amy, who, along with her mother, has been fighting breast cancer.
He has yet to commit himself to playing in Wales and Pavin said: “I am not sure if Phil’s locked into making the team.”
Pavin will face European captain Colin Montgomerie at the Volvo China Open, which starts today.
