Sure, you trust Phil Mickelson to hit a flop shot. But would you trust him to hit one over your head from 2 feet away?
Evidently, Gary Evans did, and his faith was rewarded.
Callaway Golf sent out this Twitter video on Tuesday taken by Mickelson’s bother and caddie, Tim, ahead of this week’s Open at Carnoustie:
Retweet if you’d let Phil flop it over you from a tight lie two feet in front of tour face

These side views also emerged, showing how little a margin there was for error:

The Englishman Evans racked up a pair of top-10 finishes at The Open in 2002 and 2003.
If you look closely, you can see him holding his … breath.
Yeah, that’s it. His breath.
