The Truth About Phil Mickelson's Wife's Cancer Battle

According to an article from ESPN, the breast cancer was discovered early, and they had "a wonderful team of doctors helping." At the time, Phil Mickelson stopped his participation in the PGA Tour (via Golf Monthly).

"Amy [Mickelson] is such a supportive and loving life partner," he wrote on his website. "She has always put me and our family first. Now it's time for her and her health to come first as we face this challenge together."

As reported by FanBuzz, the happy couple met in 1992 while attending college at Arizona State University. He was golfing (obviously) while she was a cheerleader for the National Basketball Association's Phoenix Suns. 

Following her beast cancer diagnosis, Amy faced surgery and chemotherapy. After battling for 11 months, she beat it. While the mother of three was not always able to watch her husband golf during those months, she was there when he won his third green jacket at the 2010 Masters Tournament.
