Video: Lefty The ‘Bushwhacker’

Phil Mickelson is a 5-time Major winner and a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. And that's just for what he does when he keeps his ball in the same time zone as the golf course he's playing.

Actually, he's a lot more fun when he's trying to get his ball back into the vicinity from whence he started.

His recovery shots easily match and often outdistance - both literally and figuratively - his regular highlights. For our most recent exhibit we present Phil hitting his ball from out of a bush... somewhere off to the side of the 9th hole it appears (see Shot Tracker screenshot below) in the recent Shriners Open.

Suffice to say there were no TV cameras set up to capture this shot. Probably not too many hit from this particular area. But thanks to today's social media there was of course a fan with a phone handy. 

Oh, and Lefty will hit this shot for you using his driver. Over trees. Approximately 200 yards.

And make par

You're welcome.
