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

[@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"

[@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.

[@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

[@87Aar0n]

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

[@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]

@@sm-mv8hi pretty sure he’s saying that people appreciate Phil’s greatness more now

[@XboyzPower]

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

[@patricksechowski2134]

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

[@MH-sj9bg]

He singlehandedly made me love the sport as a kid. He's a mad scientist; not afraid to hit any lie or hazard. Has me howling and in awe in equal measure.

[@justingoldenberg2351]

[@xxwill6xx576]

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

[@tylermaclean475]

Did anyone else notice the guy cannonball into the water after the very last shot?

[@Will-nb8qk]

Yeah, he didn’t survive that unfortunately.

[@dankosek4274]

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.

[@callummcd1672]

Love Phil Mickelson videos, absolute legend

[@vidyuththattai1030]

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

[@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

[@fload46d]

Long life Phil. You have given us so much.

[@jettrink7510]

The reason for fan favorite... He has a beautiful smile

[@cmurphy7743]

I love the calm handshake reaction to amazing shots at the ryder cups. Just great .

[@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.

[@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.

[@themanthelegend7048]

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

[@michaelkammert1350]

A truly gifted player and a class act every time! Love watching him play!

[@yedi015]

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

[@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

[@dar92k.]

Man, from a lad from the south west of Ireland and Limerick to be specifically, the k club 2006 cemented my love for this game. Phil and tiger brought the game of golf to us common folk. In my humble opinion, they changed my life. I now play off 26, once a year. Much love x will get better over time.. for sure!!

[@randym9147]

I must watch too much Golf. I was surprised at how many of these shots that I saw live. Great video- thanks for posting!

[@leewallace6575]

One of my all time favourite golfers, legend

[@soumyahegde1181]

It's a pleasure watching him play.

[@StromkirkCurse]

the greatest wedge player to ever play on tour.

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

Phil Mickelson is like the Houdini of Golf you never know what he's going to do, but you know it's going to be incredible

[@mikes7639]

You got to love the guy , a real person who loves life

[@fitz908]

moral of the story: phil mickelson hits bad tee shots

[@logiman]

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!

[@thriftest]

Phil's the best at recovery shots, coz he really has to be to stay in contention. He's a legend!

[@cherylbridges408]

Love you, Phil! Happy Birthday!

[@ice300tw]

He is a living 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.

[@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.

I've been trying to practice my chipping technique and steepen it a little, I'm too inconsistent around the green and a good putter but hcp is 10 on 18.

[@paulburek7530]

My favorite is Phil's 3rd shot out of the pine straw just over the creek for a tap in eagle, I think it was #13 at the Masters.

[@randyedmisten2895]

That would have been his second shot to the green for a tap in. My favorite too!
