Phil Mickelson, 2010, 13th Hole

Phil Mickelson has gotten himself into some tough situations on the golf course before. His go-for-broke style often leaves him with difficult shots that he is forced to navigate. Mickelson’s ability to get out of seemingly impossible situations has been one of the hallmarks of his career.

In the final round of the 2010 Masters, Mickelson found himself in one of those situations. After pulling his drive into the trees down the right side of the 13th hole, the left-hander appeared to have no shot at going for the par-five in two. But being Mickelson, he found a way, striking a clean six-iron from just over 200 yards out that landed softly below the hole, setting up a birdie and helping Mickelson win another green jacket.
