I did the same thing, only is was 100 yards straight forward into the clubhouse windows. Same applause.

[bobbyricigliano]

As a high handicap golfer, I routinely hit shots that end up behind me.

[Phenriir]

The announcer sounds like he’s trying to sell us dirt

[hudsonbrown]

The announcers sound like nothing happened

[rpfcreates]

Lmao why is the crowd directly in front of him?! Literally no one moved to the sides. Straight up staring at him like ancestral ghosts sending the shot power to him.

Me: *about to play a reverse flop shot*
Spectators: Where should we stand?
Me: Nowhere is safe

[sorrysayagain]

Probably practiced this plenty of time. I bet he was happy for the opportunity to pull it off in competition.

[ToniBoordane]

Most underplayed audience reaction of all time in sports history forever

[HiddenView]

Has to be one of the greatest shots of all time.

[zavyz]

The balls it takes to try and hit that shot in a competition is crazy. Phil is a legend

[jamesbondiv]

Wow, this shot really got all the applause it deserved. NOT.

[RaulMorales]

"Oh, I misread it!"


- Phil Mickelson.

[AnakinSkysquatter]

This make-do reverse over the head flop is literally more accurate than any shot I have ever hit

[hgjfbzfnombre]

Arguably one of the most iconic shot on the PGA TOUR

[artvandelay]

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago

[robertstephens]

Phil is an absolute legend near the greens. He pulls off the most amazing shots that i try and get my mind to fathom it out. You are a lefty and a great player and i always watch out for you in televised competition for amazing shot placements.

[ALD]

Fast forward 26 years and he's still amazing with his play out of the sand, whether it's from a fairway bunker and placing the shot in birdie distance or from a greenside bunker like this.

[pauljones]

That might be the most coolest shot ever made by a professional golfer thanks Phil we miss you on the PGA tour

[steveheathcote]

That’s just straight up outrageous! Who even imagines a shot like that?

[brodywinrow]

I mean WHAT? Guy has been so good for so long. Love the lefty
