During the incredible run these two men shared, Mickelson won five major championships and 48 total wins as a pro.
Mckay began caddying for Mickelson in 1992. His famous nickname was given to him by Freddie Couples way back in 1990 when Couples, calling him a bag of bones, couldn’t remember his real name.
