Phil Mickelson is very serious about golf. "Lefty" gives a quiet "thanks" back to supportive fans and rarely smiles on the course.

He's also a very good golfer and for some reason, one of my favorite pros to shoot on the links.

I decided to follow him through nine holes today at Pebble Beach and get the absolute best photo from each.
