Phil Mickelson snubbed the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championships three times in its eight Dove Mountain years, including 2013 and 2014, but he is back in Tucson golf in a new way. Last week, Mickelson’s golf management group agreed to take over day-to-day operations at the Stone Canyon Club, potentially saving the high-end golf property from bankruptcy. Mickelson’s group, the M Club, also operates courses in Scottsdale, Payson and Litchfield Park.
