As one of the most accomplished and decorated golfers of all time, we shouldn’t be surprised by anything Phil Mickelson does on the greens. But his jaw-dropping hole-out shot during today’s LIV Golf Virginia event was truly something else.
The 55-year-old Phil Mickelson finished in a tie for fourth at LIV Golf Virginia this weekend with a score of 13-under. The tournament was held at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville and carried a $25 million purse.
Joaquín Niemann finished first by a wide margin with a score of 19-under, five shots ahead of Graeme McDowell and Anirban Lahiri, who tied for second at 14-under.
Mickelson didn’t quite emerge victorious, but he hit the shot of the day with his unbelievable hole-out while standing in a greenside bunker. Ladies and gentlemen, the signature Phil Mickelson flop shot:
