Video: Phil Tries The Backwards Shot In Competition!
/The definitions of success will vary I'm sure, but I'd say that it was a success in that he did go backwards and almost got the ball out of the bunker. No doubt some will insist that he had to hit the green to make this work.
Phil Mickelson says he used the shot once in competition at the AT&T National Pro-Am, but this is the first attempt caught on video.
Either way, unlike the past ones, including this one I got at Muirfield, the effort was a noble one for Mickelson at the 2015 Barclays, 18th hole, third round.
