Pulling it up from deep inside his childhood memory banks, Koepka recalled in detail on Tuesday his meeting with Mickelson near the Augusta National parking lot two decades ago when a starry eyed kid with dreams of being a Masters winner one day cornered ‘Lefty’ for an autograph. “He turned me down, (I am) probably about the only kid Phil’s ever turned down,” recalled Koepka with a chuckle. “We can laugh about it now.” Fast forward 20 years and Koepka is a three-times major winner signing autographs at Augusta National — the only hint of a scar left from the Mickelson brush-off is his difficulty in saying ‘no’ to a little kid.
