Remarkably the brave volunteer, former European Tour pro Gary Evans, emerged without a bruise.
Golf Magazine‘s Dylan Dethier captured the trick in slow motion on Tuesday.
He posted: “It appears that Phil has not, in fact, lost his mojo”.
Footage said to have been captured by Mickelson’s brother and caddy Tim was also shared online.
