:D I've tried to do that before at my local club, and skulled the ball over the fence into the bushes.

No kidding. :beer:

Apparently, Mickelson is in a much better shape than this year as he says he suffered through 'stamina' issues.

What did he do? Send the ball backwards or hit it right-handed with the back of the club?

I'm no golfer so I'll probably screw up the terminology.

Basically, the ball was on a slope behind the green. So to hit the ball, he would normally have to swing down the hill, which would be very difficult to get lift. So instead he swung away from the green, up the hill, and flipped his wrist to carry the ball back behind himself toward the green. He landed it a couple of feet from the hole.
