Lefty's Valiant March

While It was Lucas Glover who won this years US Open, it will be remembered as Phil "Lefty" Mickelson's tournament.

The New York crowd were in full voice and full support of Mickelson who had just weeks before learned that his wife had breast cancer. Mickelson battled the course, the rain, and his own emotions - and nearly won this prestigious tournament.

Chants of "Let's go, Phil! Let's go, Phil!" still echo through the fairways days after the championship finally ended on Monday.

Sports often take a back seat to life. Mickelson dignified both his wife and his sport by simply giving his best effort.
