By now, you’ve probably heard that Phil Mickelson hit a shot from the hospitality tent not once, but twice, at The Barclays. He made bogey the first time, and par the second, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to make the secondary cut on Saturday.
However, his latest adventures on the golf course have generated some serious buzz around the web. After his second shot from the stands, one of the best memes in sports was born: #PhilWasHere.
Photoshopped pictures of Mickelson in ridiculous and historic places have flooded Twitter and social media, and we’ve compiled some of the best.
#PhilWasHere. And Phil was ALSO there at two of the biggest upsets in sports history. WATCH: http://t.co/P7omazVTjU pic.twitter.com/0QQRfJMnqu
