"I lean on Phil Mickelson pretty hard” - Brendan Steele opens up on receiving advices from Mickelson at LIV Golf events

Following his first-ever LIV Golf win, Brendan Steele thanked his team's captain, Phil Mickelson, for his advice and for instilling confidence in him.

On Sunday, April 28, Steele claimed the LIV Golf Adelaide after shooting 4-under 68 in the final round to beat Louis Oosthuizen by one stroke. This was the first time a HyFlyers GC member won the title on the Saudi-backed circuit. Furthermore, his win also helped his team achieve its first-ever podium finish, as they finished third in the team portion.

Speaking at the winner's press conference, Brendan Steele thanked the six-time major champion for his support and credited him for the success. He said:

"I lean on Phil pretty hard with everything with how to hit shots around the green with how to approach things. He's one of the best players ever and he can give me advice. If he's going to give me advice I'm gonna take it.

"So I definitely want to listen to him and and he's helped me a ton with everything from wedge, play short game, mental game just instilling confidence in myself and a big reason why I'm sitting up here."
