MEMPHIS - Phil Mickelson choked back the tears Wednesday as he spoke about returning to the PGA Tour three weeks after his wife Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I've never felt this emotional, where if I'm driving alone or what have you I will just start crying," Mickelson said. "I'm looking forward to having a four- or five-hour mental break to focus on something else."Â Â
Â
Mickelson, a three-time major champion, walked away indefinitely from the PGA Tour when learning of his wife's condition, but will play this week and in next week's U.S. Open before taking another leave of absence to be with his wife.
Also coming back at this week's St. Jude Classic John Daly, back after a suspension. He played in Europe and Asia and dropped weight to make a comeback after a career dogged by personal struggles.
"You think you're going to be out here for life. I took that for granted. I didn't take all the golf tournaments as serious as I should have," Daly said. "But the good news is I can still salvage a great career."
