The Golf Blog says: What will Phil do next? Phil Mickelson self-destructed on the par-3 4th hole. He hit his iron shot way left into the grandstand, and the ball ricocheted into the bamboo near the woods. Phil had 3 options: (1) going back to retee, (2) taking relief 2 clubs no closer to the hole, which meant he would have gone further into the woods, and (3) trying to hack the ball out of the bamboo. Phil chose to do (3), right-handed. He almost whiffed and barely moved the ball a foot. He tried again and almost hit himself with the ball, but it squirted out before the bunker. He then tried to flop the ball over the bunker, but it went into the bunker. Phil almost holed it from the bunker, but missed. All told, Phil made a triple bogey. Ouch.
