Phil Mickelson tried a 'Lefty special' from the hospitality tents yesterday

If anyone can do it, Phil can.

PHIL MICKELSON HAS played from some tricky lies in his time, and he was tested again at the Barclays yesterday when his tee shot went awry — and ended up in a hospitality tent.

Mickelson’s drive on the short par-four fifth took an unfortunate hop off a cart path and ended up among the spectators in the posh seats.

Rather than take a drop, Mickelson tried his luck but ended up in a greenside bunker before taking two putts for bogey.

He said: “It wasn’t hard to make contact. It was hard to hit it on that skinny little green and get it to stop.”

He finished with a one-over par round of 72 which was just enough to make the cut for the weekend.
