Former Sun Devil Phil Mickelson building ASU a new facility

Three-time Tucson Open champion Phil Mickelson is building his alma mater, ASU, a multi-million golf practice facility at Phoenix Papago Golf Course, which is 11 miles from the Sun Devil campus. He said it will be the best of its kind “in the world.” The Sun Devils are currently ranked No. 4 in women’s golf and No. 28 in men’s golf. Arizona, meanwhile, is ranked No. 17 in women’s golf and No. 75 in the men’s poll. The Wildcats have their own practice facility at Sewailo Golf Course, which is at Casino del Sol. It is 17 miles from Arizona’s campus. Coach Laura Ianello‘s Arizona’s women’s golf team will play host to the Pac-12 championships at Sewailo, a significant advantage. The Pac-12 is loaded: Stanford is currently ranked No. 1, USC is No. 3, ASU is No. 4 and UCLA No. 7.
