Phil Mickelson is the ultimate "play it where it lies" guy

[@zimaratic626]

That’s incredibly true

[@itzreekitz5819]

how it should be

[@PeterSmith-or3pq]

No question

[@user-er8kz2jg6o]

Yup

[@anthonymulcahy1166]

I swear he puts himself in these situations just so he can pull off these incredible recovery shots. Legend

[@TechOutAdam]

Gotta be on purpose lol I was just thinking that.

[@knxcholx]

I literally was thinking this earlier

[@MoneyIsSilver]

The only guy who can honestly say he was better than Tiger with a wedge.

[@parkercoylegolf1146]

Other than me of course

[@scottrackley4457]

There were a couple others

[@scottrackley4457]

Seve, Watson, Zinger

[@chrismayor5147]

Bob Vokey, when asked who was the best, said Seve and it is not close, then Trevino and Phil, then Tiger.

[@wango556]

I honestly think Tiger would say Phil was better than him with a wedge.

[@maxneino3632]

Every shot starts with something like “if anyone can do this it’s phil”

[@nationalprussialism4880]

And he can

[@davidnewman5807]

I reckon most of his shots start with his caddy say, "no Phil that'll never work " followed by him saying "wanna bet".

My Grandpa has the same commentary with my golf! “Did you see it go in the sand, then out of the sand, hit a tree and BACK in the same bunker?! If there’s anyone that can do it, it’s Dylan Thompson.”

[@deplorablelibertarian]

Who’s here after Phil just won the PGA championship at Kiawah....

[@America1779]

Phil is so human. He plays from bad lies and under the trees as much as an amateur golfer. Difference is he makes his best shots from the worst situations. Always been a high risk high reward golfer and has always been my favorite modern golfer.

[@scottrackley4457]

Like McCord said, "The worse it gets the better he gets"

[@StoneAngus]

Like fine wine, mickelson only gets better with his age.

[@brandonalan1513]

He’s actually gotten significantly worse irl but his highlights age well lol

[@sm-mv8hi]

Dude blows what are you talking about

[@nedseekamp8191]

Lol

[@byrumburgin9832]

I would not say that he blows guys 😎 your comments did not age well

[@87Aar0n]

Watching Phil the Thrill and Tiger in their prime was a special time for golfing fans!!!

[@selms22]

Phil's reactions are priceless. He tries to hide the smile but fails every time. I think that's what makes him a fan favorite

[@justingoldenberg2351]

i like to imagine he thought everyone would jump in and looked around and he was the only one

[@Will-nb8qk]

Yeah, he didn’t survive that unfortunately.

Bro I haven't even hit 50 good shots in my life what the heck

[@patricksechowski2134]

Who doesn't love Lefty. He surprised me every time I watched him try a crazy shot

[@CaterpillarLip]

13:43 The most unreal backspin I have seen in my life!

[@vdunny3780]

he had bugs bunny use a magnet under the green

[@CaterpillarLip]

@@vdunny3780 only logical answer

[@anonymousf1]

look the 3:50 bunker shot that was the unreal backspin i think

[@ianw.9185]

How on earth is his 2nd shot from #13 in the 2010 Masters not here?! Probably the single greatest shot I've ever seen in my life.

majors are excluded from the list

Phil has always been my favorite golfer. I've never met him but I've heard he is one of the nicest guys on the PGA tour. And a great father/ husband. Would love to meet him some day.

[@boopah4365]

Phil would've won 20 majors had he been born 10 yrs earlier..(pre-Tiger.)

[@tash_views]

I love Phil. But doesn't that sort of say Tiger is simply better. If Tiger wasn't born, a lot of people would have won a lot of titles. But he was born and he did win all the PGA titles.

[@boopah4365]

@@tash_views I'm a way bigger Phil fan than a Tiger fan, but yes, Tiger is better.

[@dgstruzyk]

But Tiger didn’t even win 20...but I see your point

[@christopherliang6879]

I think 12 is a more reasonable amount. To be fair, Phil would've won at least 3 more majors if he did not take too many risks. A lot of the times that he got close he lost because he took too many chance and lost to non-Tiger players.

[@boopah4365]

@@christopherliang6879 you could also argue that Phil won as many as he did because of the risks he takes.

moral of the story: phil mickelson hits bad tee shots

True. But, it doesn't matter. Phil's entertainment factor has been good for golf.

[@fitz908]

@@logiman ik man, im just joking. I love phil

[@logiman]

@@fitz908 Right. I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or serious. Either way, it's true. He put himself in position to have to make miraculous shots.

[@actionjackson8073]

If I think of 2 repeated Phil moments, it’s magical up and downs from around the green, and him saying “Oh my god” after hitting his tee shot

[@dylant4737]

Drive for show putt for dough!

[@07624430582]

I watched Phil chipping around the practice green in Southport, he is golfing magician, an experience I will never forget. He is also a true gentleman and a credit to the game of golf.

[@ShaMan54321]

I love the clips when he celebrates with Zach Johnson with a handshake. For some reason that’s so fun to me.

[@ludvignilsson2264]

No one: Literally no one: The Commentator: If anyone's gonna do it, it's Phil

[@StromkirkCurse]

the greatest wedge player to ever play on tour.

[@joshsmith981]

His short game was unmatched, superior.

[@marclaporte3710]

4:17 #38 is LITERALLY one of the best golf shots I have EVER seen.

[@cmurphy7743]

[@yedi015]

I agree. Phil, Rory, and Duval are my favorites

[@themanthelegend7048]

He makes me feel better. I'm constantly hitting from different obstacles as well.

[@rukdropov]

Probably the best short game golfer you'll ever see. Incredible.

[@carlstritzinger6724]

Absolutely number 1+ with the skill to do sometimes the impossible and make it look easy. What a job to watch and then laugh with him.

[@leewallace6575]

One of my all time favourite golfers, legend

[@johnjutton103]

Phil to me had and probably still has the greatest recovery game I've ever seen. Yhe imagination heart bottle and the ability yo make a nevmgative a massive positive. The man is my hero because he like seve got into situations we all find ourselves in and somehow managed to pull shots off 99 percent of golfers can't even see. Unbelievable golfer, unbelievable personality one of if not the best short game player the planet has ever seen.
