Phil Mickelson tried to hit a shot under a fence and it didn’t end well

It’s often hard to know what Phil Mickelson is thinking at the clearest of times but this one completely puzzles us.

Phil Mickelson sprayed a drive left at the par-4 10th hole at Bay Hill during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Upon finding his golf ball next to a netted fence separating the course from someone’s backyard, Mickelson thought he could flip a club upside-down and play it right-handed, rather than take an unplayable. We think he was trying to hit under it.

Fence 1, Phil 0.
