This is a big weekend for golfing fans: the start of the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia.
Expected to be among the top finishers is veteran Phil Mickelson, who plays with a different sort of "handicap." He has a case of psoriatic arthritis, which can make it difficult to grip and control his clubs.
Sound Medicine’s Dr. Kathy Miller spoke with arthritis specialist Dr. Elaine Husni of the Cleveland Clinic, for a better understanding of what Mickelson faces.
