(AP) --  U.S. captain Corey Pavin says the wife of Phil
Mickelson 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 whole
family was there.

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

 Pavin says she is not going to be on the charter flight from
Atlanta, but plans to arrive later in the week.
