Best of Devil Ball 2009: Phil Mickelson's backwards magic

By Jay Busbee

As we wrap up 2009, we offer up a few of our best posts from 2009. Dig on 'em, and get ready -- the 2010 season is only a few days away ...

Say what you will about Phil Mickelson, this is flat-out cool. Courtesy of Waggle Room and Golf.com, we bring you this video from Phil's new short-game DVD where he demonstrates how to handle a ball on the downward lip of the back edge of a bunker, a shot you simply cannot hit forward without dropping it into the sand. So what do you do? Punch it out sideways? Pfah. If you're Phil Mickelson, you turn around backwards, twist the club in your hands so that it looks like a spatula, and presto ...

Oh, Phil. If only there was a shot that could send you back in time a couple weeks, to take another shot at that putt at 15 at Bethpage in the U.S. Open.
