Golf champion Phil Mickelson missed his putt and chased after his ball, putting it back up the hill while it was still in motion and got a two stroke penalty!
Phil Mickelson, who was already four over par for the day, badly overhit a putt on the 13th green which looked in danger of rolling off the putting surface. He ran after the ball and knocked it back up the hill before it went too far, deliberately incurring a two-shot penalty rather than risk running up a bigger score.
Wow. I've never seen that before.
Phil Mickelson ran after his putt before it stopped, which is a two stroke penalty.
