Phil Mickelson Is Ill

In today's golf world, Phil Mickelson is one of the best golfers in the world. Now, Phil Mickelson is ill. Some people said: once fearful his career might be over, Mickelson leads arthritis campaign.

It is a bad news for Phil Mickelson, isn't it? Mickelson who may like the Callaway FT-iZ Driver was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis last year: Masters Champion Phil Mickelson played a practice round at Pebble Beach in California on the Saturday before last year's U.S. Open and was walking back to his car when he felt pain in his ankle, hip and finger.

"I thought it might just be wear and tear of the joints over the years," he said. The scare came a week after the U.S. Open during a family holiday in Hawaii when the pain returned.

"I went and laid down on the couch, and it hurt so bad to move," Mickelson said. "Thereafter, I went to try to play golf and the pain had gone to my shoulder.

"I couldn't take the club back halfway. And I was concerned about the impact on my golf career." Mickelson was lucky to detect it early.

Mickelson has created a partnership with Amgen and Pfizer, Inc. and will launch a public awareness campaign Wednesday called "On Course with Phil." The idea is for people with psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or plaque psoriasis to have it diagnosed early and get on a treatment program that's best for them.

It cost him part of his summer, no doubt. He was never in contention at the British Open, and made his move too late to seriously contend at the PGA Championship, where he first revealed he had psoriatic arthritis. He had a chance the second half of the season to go to No. 1 in the world, but he had only one top 10 finish.

Even so, he feels fortunate it wasn't worse. "He was smart, the fact he recognized something was going on and sought medical attention early," said Christopher Ritchlin of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, who has been studying the diseases for more than 20 years.
