This compilation of Phil Mickelson recovery clips is wildly entertaining

February 27, 2018

Phil Mickelson didn't win the first edition of the WGC-Mexico Championship last year, but he produced one of the most thrilling T-7 finishes in golf history. And that's not sarcasm.

Throughout his career, Mickelson has been known to find interesting spots on golf courses, but even he seemed like he couldn't believe the places he put himself in at Club de Golf Chapultepec. To steal a line from colleague Joel Beall, Mickelson did more exploring of Mexico than Coronado. And only his remarkable recovery skills kept him anywhere near the leader board.

In case you missed the Mickelson magical mystery tour in Mexico last year -- or you just want to see them again (you should) -- the PGA Tour has put together a wildly entertaining compilation of some of his best escapes from the week. Enjoy:

Yep, he's in there. Somewhere. And he's coming back to Chapultepec this week. If you plan on following Phil there, stay on your toes.
