Phil Mickelson Tied for First Place at Farmers Open with Wife Amy by His Side Bringing Tears to Spectators

Phil Mickelson and Wife Amy at Farmers Open

Phil Mickelson is in the hunt for the win today, as he is tied for first place in the Farmers Insurance Open. With his wife Amy by his side, this makes today a time when all is right in Phil Mickelson's world.

As I came in from grocery shopping this afternoon, my big burly construction worker husband was sitting in front of the television set crying. This man doesn't cry so I immediately thought bad news had arrived while I was out. I panicked, dropped the grocery bags and ran over to him. He was crying as he watched Amy Mickelson walk the greens as her husband Phil Mickelson golfed.

He was so overwhelmed seeing his favorite golfer's wife back to good health and watching the happiness in Phil Mickelson's face that it got to him! I am also touched to see Amy Mickelson on the greens once again, and it was heart warming to see my husband have that type of compassion for another human being!

Amy Mickelson is the most popular non-golfer at the Farmers Open today. She has been battling breast cancer and due to that illness she has not been by her husband's side on the greens since suffering form breast cancer in 2009. She did make an appearance at the Masters last Spring when Phil won the title, but her illness has kept her away from the place she wants to be most, by her husbands side.

This has all changed this weekend as Amy Mickelson walked the 18 hole course two days in a row. According to the Hartford Courant, the PGA is reporting she is feeling better with everyone pulling for her to make a full recovery.
