Mickelson wows Woods with holed flop shot

AUGUSTA, Ga. With a captive audience behind the 15th green, Phil Mickelson couldnt help but try a few daring short-game shots.After hitting a high, soft flop to a few inches with his first practice attempt, Mickelson took a three-quarter swing and holed a flop shot to the tucked pin on the left side of the par-5 green.Grinning, he turned to his partner, Tiger Woods, and bumped fists.That was just silly, Woods said afterward.

Asked if theres a part of Mickelsons game that makes him even a bit envious, Woods pointed to Mickelsons short game.We were talking about the flop shots he hits, he said. He has a 64-degree wedge, too, so when he lays that thing open, it looks like its actually facing backward. He hits that thing, and I dont know he doesnt hit himself. Its incredible.Woods also complimented Mickelsons competitiveness, saying that his fearless attitude is a major reason why hes continued to find success late into his 40s.Hes feisty. Hes determined. He always wants to win. And its served him well, Woods said. He believes in himself an awful lot. And you see the chances hes taken over the years, the reason why he does that is because he knows he can do it and he has that belief. Thats what has separated him he truly believes he can pull it off.
