Phil Mickelson, huh? At 53, he’s hinting at hanging up his clubs soon. But man, did he put on a show at LIV Golf Singapore. It’s like he’s telling us, “I might be winding down, but watch this.”
So, there he was at Sentosa Golf Club. Mickelson, the dude with six Major titles under his belt, decides to go big. He’s never been one to shy away from a bold move. And boy, did it pay off. He whacks the ball off the deck with his driver. We’re talking a 300-yard beauty straight off the fairway.
And that shot at the 18th? Pure magic. The ball soared, landed on the green’s front edge, and then just casually rolled off the back. Classic Mickelson. Though he finished the round over par, way down the list, it kinda makes you wonder. Is this the twilight of his career?
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Mickelson’s still got tricks up his sleeve. Shots that make you question the laws of physics. It’s like he’s reminding us all – age is just a number in golf.
