Video / NZ HeraldPhil Mickelson has named Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko as an inspiration behind his historic PGA Championship win last weekend. Ahead of his next challenge in Texas, Mickelson said he allowed himself to get distracted for a couple of days after his victory at the PGA Championship. "Because when I'm doing it, I'm not fully aware because I'm so in the moment," Mickelson said. Phil Mickelson says Lydia Ko's comeback to form was an inspiration behind his own return to the top. While there will be some limits, fans will be on the course for the 75th anniversary of the Colonial, which has been held since 1946 and is the longest-running PGA Tour event at the same venue.
