Good Start for Mickelson

When his putt lipped out for a 59 all Phil Mickelson could do was keel over at the hips in disbelief. It looked good all way. 20 feet out, 10 feet out, 5 feet out the ball looked dead center and one of the greatest golfers to play the game looked to have shot the ever elusive 59.

 

It was Thursday at the Waste Management Open in Scottsdale, Arizona and Phil jumped out to an early lead. Playing incredibly well all day, Phil came to 18 with a 25-footer left for a 59. This is what happened.

The ball ran the back edge of the cup, thought about going in, then rested a few inches away from the cup. Tough luck for Phil.
