However, the golf veteran still feels he can win more Majors.&quot;I'm in every major for the next three years,&quot; Mickelson told Sports Illustrated. &quot;And I think I have a chance to win one or two more and create these accomplishments that haven't been done at this stage.&quot;Mickelson didn't play in last year's Masters, skipping the PGA Championship despite being a defending champion at Southern Hills Country Club.
