Mickelson told the crowd at the awards ceremony, “I just could not be more proud to be your champion. I never knew in my career if I’d be equipped, if I would have the shots, if I would have the opportunity to win a tournament here.”

The athlete was spotted celebrating with his wife and children after his win.

Meanwhile, Tiger Woods, who was ahead of Mickelson for most of the tournament, finished in sixth place.
