Lefty Adding To His Lore

Phil Beats Ryder Cup Teammates in Closest to Pin With Righty Wedge

Phil Mickelson won a closest-to-the-pin contest on Wednesday.

But that's not all. The competition was in Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, and Mickelson won with a right-handed wedge. Remember, this is the guy known as "Lefty."

Mickelson and his seven Ryder Cup teammates put on Patriots jerseys and hung out on the field on Wednesday, as he and the rest of the crew bonded off the course as they prepare for the first round of the Deutsche Bank Championship, just outside of Boston, on Friday. And, just for fun, a hole was set up 78 yards away on the field, and players took aim using captain Davis Love's wedge.

Mickelson stuck his shot four feet away from the hole.

Lefty talked about the shot on Thursday, and he made sure his Ryder Cup teammates remembered who won.
