Amazing Golf Shots

It is said that fortune favours the brave and there are fewer braver on the golf course that Phil Mickelson. Locked in a duel with Lee Westwood he had started the final round of the 2010 The Masters tournament one shot adrift but was two ahead coming down the Par 5 13th. Left handed Mickelson had pulled his drive into the trees on the right hand side of the fairway the famous #13 hole at Augusta National is part of the infamous Amen Corner a classic risk & reward Par 5 that challenges golfers to go for the green in two across the treacherous Rae’s Creek from a hanging lie of the fairway to a wickedly sloping green. With his ball laying on pine straw and only a limited view of the putting surface over 200 yards away Mickelson would have been quite justified in playing out conservatively and relying on a pitch and putt birdie opportunity but what happened next was one of the most spectacular shots in modern golf. Phil selected a 6 iron and thread his shot through the trees and soared onto the green pulling up sharply 7 feet from the hole signalling to Westwood that he wanted that green jacket very badly indeed.
