Phil Mickelson Amazes Golf Fans With Barefoot Shot
Phil Mickelson Amazes Golf Fans With Barefoot Shot originally appeared on The Spun. Phil Mickelson is with the LIV Golf Tour in Indianapolis this week and decided to try something different when his ball hit the water. Rather than take a one stroke penalty, Mickelson decided to play the ball where it lie. But since it was in a marshy part of the course, Mickelson would have had to risk getting his shoes and pants wet to take the shot. So Mickelson simply took them off. He planted his left foot in the mud and used his wedge to not only get the ball out of the water, but onto the green to save his hole. Mickelson's fans loved it It doesn't get much better than seeing a new way to hit a ball during a round. Mickelson's many fans had all kinds of fun with it on social media: "We already knew Phil Mickelson can walk on water, now he can chip through it," one user wrote on X. "Phil may be the best ever at pulling off shots that just look impossible," wrote another. "Phil is a magician with a wedge," a third remarked. "King of wedge play, and note: I didn't see him get one drop of water on himself… truly a magician around the greens ..!!!!" "Why is Phil always in these difficult situations pulling off miracle shots??" "Sometimes the worst shots give you the opportunity to make a great one." 2025 was a rough year for Mickelson in the majors. He was cut from the Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open and finished outside the top 50 at the Open Championship. It was the first time in his entire career that he was cut from three majors in the same season.

LIV Golf Tour heads to Chicago this week
Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are the favourites to triumph this week. It's not only the PGA Tour season coming to an end in the next few weeks, but the 2025 season of the breakaway LIV Golf Tour as well. And with South Africa on the roster for next year, at Steyn City next March, there might just be an upswell in interest in LIV Golf abroad and the South African 'Stinger' team. This week the tour is in Chicago in the first of three back-to-back events to complete the season. Jon Rahm is the defending champion, having edged out multiple winner Joaco Niemann on the 18th hole las season, and the big-hitting Spaniard is second favourite to triumph again, according to Betway's early predictions for the weekend's golf action. The action will take place at Bolingbrook Golf Club on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Betway have Bryson DeChambeau as the favourite to win this week, at 5.85, not a bad option. Rahm is at 6.20 and third favourite is Niemann at 7.50. South Africa's Dean Burmester, who's had a good year on the LIV Golf Tour, is not a bad bet at 34.00. There are a number of other betting options available through Betway, including round leaders, winning margins and even for holes-in-one. These odds are correct at time of publishing and subject to change.

Golf-Mickelson rolls back years with early magic at Portrush
Golf - The 153rd Open Championship - Royal Portrush Golf Club, Portrush, Northern Ireland, Britain - July 17, 2025 Phil Mickelson of the U.S. during the first round REUTERS/Paul Childs PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (Reuters) -Former Open champion Phil Mickelson served up some of the old magic as the American veteran opened with an impressive one-under 70 at rain-hit Royal Portrush on Thursday. The 55-year-old six-time major winner who lifted the Claret Jug at Muirfield in 2013, briefly threatened the top of the early leaderboard as he rolled back the years. After a birdie at the par-five second hole, Mickelson then had the galleries in raptures as he holed a miraculous bunker shot for par on the third, the ball having plugged in the sand. "That was a crazy one," the left-handed Mickelson, whose trademark short game remains undiminished, said. "That bunker shot that buried in the lip, and then to make it, it was obviously a lot of luck. It was crazy. I was trying to save bogey, and I got lucky and it went in. I really hit a lot of good shots today, and it wasn't too stressful." Mickelson, who plays on the LIV Golf Tour, has missed five cuts in his last seven Open appearances but says he still loves the challenge thrown up by British links courses. "I played really well, and I had an opportunity. Like I really enjoy playing these conditions and playing this tournament. It's just a lot of fun," he said. Mickelson managed to miss the worst of the rain that soaked the later starters and after a couple of bogeys on the back nine he holed a 20-foot putt on the 17th to get back under par. He missed the cut at Portrush six years ago but said the par-71 layout on the County Antrim coast is a fair test. "It seems to be consistent with the degree of how good or bad you hit it," he said. "Like if you hit a really good shot, it gets really rewarded. "If you hit a really bad shot, it gets in a really bad spot, as opposed to getting away with really bad shots and get lucky. "It seems like it penalises it to the degree which it should." Mickelson fared better than two-time Open champion Padraig Harrington as the 53-year-old, who had the honour of hitting the first tee shot, went round in four-over 75 despite making one of the few birdies on the tough opening hole. The Irishman said he was not surprised that the likes of Mickelson, and England's 52-year-old Lee Westwood who carded a two-under 69, were doing well, suggesting the new age limit of 55 for exemptions for former champions, from 2024, is harsh. "We are getting younger at that stage. The older golfers are much more capable now," he said. "I think I've been training with a physio full-time for close to 27 years now, that's why players are extending their careers. Look at the player facilities this week. There's ice baths and saunas and all sorts of things. "There's no physical barrier for me hitting shots and competing." (Reporting by Martyn HermanEditing by Toby Davis)
