Phil Mickelson"s top-10 great escapes on the PGA TOUR
Phil Mickelsons had a pretty good start to his third round at the 2017 Masters. He birdied holes one and two, but then he got to three and a minor disaster struck.
Its particularly uncharacteristic because mickelsons wedge game is absolutely unparalleled on tour. Mickelson did his best impression of me on a golf course, and thats not good.
Mickelson would go on to miss a fairly decent putt on the green after landing it on with a subsequent approach, and according to CBS the six he carded on Augusta Nationals No. 3 is the worst hes ever scored on the hole in nearly 100 tournament rounds. MIckelson would rebound to par his next two holes, but the six throws him off the pace on moving day if hes going to go low and challenge for a green jacket.
A miraculous comeback by Mickelson would give him a fourth green jacket, and itd put him in company with Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer as men with four or more Masters wins.
