Pavin: Amy Mickelson plans to attend Cup

U.S. captain Corey Pavin says the Phil Mickelson's wife is planning to make the trip to the Ryder Cup.

Amy Mickelson has only been to the golf course one time since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2009. She showed up in the final hour at Augusta National to watch her husband win the Masters for the third time.

Mickelson said Wednesday that his family has been through a lot over the last 16 months - his mother also was diagnosed with breast cancer - and the Masters victory made his year because his family was there.

Amy Mickelson went to the Presidents Cup in San Francisco last October, but stayed at the team hotel.
