Is Mickelson the best short game player ever?

That's a claim the voice over makes at the end of the video below. And the backwards shot he makes here offers up a pretty compelling argument. I'm going golfing with Reeds today and I almost WANT to have a ball end up on the downward slope of a backside of a bunker so I can try this shot out. It's ridiculous, check it out...



I'm not sure what's more amazing: the fact that he actually did hit it backwards, or that he put it within 5 feet. We've all watched the billiards trick shot competitions on ESPN from time to time (admit it, you have). This makes me want to see one for golf. I'd love to see Phil and Tiger go head to head, although in this case, you may have to favor Phil.
