What Size Shoe Does Phil Mickelson Wear

Phil Mickelson has a expert reason for wearing sunglasses on the golf course

Phil Mickelson recently added a new look on the golf course: sunglasses.

It's not just to help "Lefty" expect cool. As part of a facial treatment detailed beneath, Mickelson began wearing sunglasses out on the course. They're mirrored-lens aviator sunglasses, to be specific. While the 2020 Masters features the promise of plenty of pelting, if the sun comes out, don't be surprised to run into Mickelson rocking the shades.

"I liked it," Mickelson said on CBS in August. "They didn't move around on my face when I was swinging, I went out and played with them, and I thought, 'Oh, I'll give it a endeavour.' So that'south kind of where it started. And then my eyes were much more relaxed at the end of the mean solar day, they weren't squinting the whole time."

Why is Phil Mickelson wearing sunglasses while golfing?

Mickelson revealed all the details of his sunglass-wearing in a segment on CBS in Baronial. He said he began using Carac foam, "a pare cancer chemotherapy handling on your face for similar two weeks." It blotches the peel, Mickelson said, and kills cancer cells that you lot cannot encounter (it wasn't made clear from the interview whether Mickelson has some form of cancer or not, although he does accept psoriatic arthritis, which affects the pare).

When Mickelson went exterior while using that cream, he put on sunglasses to protect the skin around his optics, and he just liked wearing them.

I of the CBS announcers, Ian Bakery-Finch, remarked: "Well that'southward skilful to know. I know equally we get older nosotros should be wearing sunglasses to protect our optics anyway." Mickelson replied, "But not everybody tin can pull that wait off, Ian. I feel similar I'k doing information technology, but not everybody tin can."

When the PGA Tour returned with the Charles Schwab Challenge in June, Mickelson was spotted wearing the shades on the course. That's what prompted the line of questioning in August which revealed Mickelson had a good reason. One golf website even suggests that sunglasses could help with putt reading, likely cutting down the sun'southward glare off the green's surface.

Mickelson already played pretty well at the Masters in 2019, finishing in 18th place after shooting six nether. Perchance the sunglasses will move the 50-twelvemonth erstwhile Mickelson even further up the leaderboard.
