Phil Mickelson's shot from the trees at the 2010 Masters is one of the most memorable and audacious shots in golf history. Here are the details of that incredible moment:
During the final round of the 2010 Masters Tournament, Phil Mickelson found himself in a difficult situation on the par-5 13th hole. His drive ended up in the trees, and he faced a seemingly impossible second shot to reach the green.
Undeterred, Mickelson assessed his options and decided to take a risky and daring approach. With a small gap between the trees, he chose to attempt a high-risk, high-reward shot that required significant precision and control.
Mickelson utilized his remarkable short game skills and executed a perfectly struck shot with a 6-iron from a tough lie in the pine straw. The ball flew through a narrow opening, curving around the trees, and landed softly on the green, setting up a birdie opportunity.
The crowd erupted in astonishment and admiration as they witnessed the audacity and skill of Mickelson's shot. The remarkable display of shot-making and creativity helped Mickelson seize the momentum and ultimately secure his third Green Jacket, winning the 2010 Masters.
