Golf Channel's Todd Lewis gives insider's view of PGA Championship

Golf Channel commentator Todd Lewis shares his takeaway of Phil Mickelson and his historic PGA Championship victory after interviewing the 50-year-old champion all week. Lewis saw a mentally prepared, even-keeled Mickelson, and Lewis shares more detail from their interactions.

Lewis also explains how challenging it was to persuade Mickelson's shy swing coach, Andrew Getson, to do an interview; the role Tim Mickelson, Phil's brother and caddie, played all week; and how working for Golf Channel provides a rare seat in the game.
