There are a million reasons we love Phil Mickelson. From his aww-shucks smile to impressive resume, Lefty has won the hearts of fans everywhere during his hall-of-fame career.
Perhaps the most exciting and interesting chapter in the book of Phil, though, is his desire to almost always go for glory and never backing down from an insanely challenging shot.
Case in point:
That’s right, early in his third round, Mickelson found himself in an unusual yet comfortable position — the beer tent.
On Friday, Mickelson went left on the par-4 fifth and found his ball on top of the hospitality area and, in fine Phil fashion, went ahead and hit it. Off the tight lie, he flew the green and wound up making bogey.
On Saturday, Mickelson did it again. His ball landed just a few feet from where he found it on Friday but managed to make par.
