Only seven left-handed golfers have ever won on the PGA Tour, and 21 of their 37 victories have come from one man: Phil Mickelson. Other than Mickelson, Charles and Weir, only four lefties have won tournaments - Russ Cochran, Ernie Gonzalez, Sam Adams and Steve Flesch. Other than Mickelson, Weir and Flesch, the only other left-hander with full exempt status on the PGA Tour is Greg Chalmers. And there is just one lefty on the LPGA Tour, Angela Buzminski. Bonnie Bryant, who captured the 1974 Bill Branch Classic, is the only left-handed golfer to win an LPGA event. It is no coincidence. Just as it is a right-handed world for things such as stick shifts, scissors and school tests, golf has also been known to discriminate when it comes to lefties.
