'Oh sh*t!": Phil Mickelson rockets one out-of-bounds

Phil Mickelson hit a poor shot on No. 18 and knew it immediately.

One of the quirks at Royal Liverpool is an internal out of bounds area that lines the closing stretch of holes. It houses a tent area and creates another obstacle for players to deal with. On No. 18, it adds a challenge and punishes anything hit too far right. Phil Mickelson went too far right and knew it immediately.

Players say a lot of things after they hit poor shots. They talk to the ball, tell it to get down or get up, ask for wind, hope for a bounce and a plethora of other things. It's not very often a player realizes a shot is so poor so quickly that he blurts out "oh, shit" seconds after contact.

To make the situation worse, Mickelson didn't think his ball went out of bounds. He said no one signaled that it was out of bounds, so he walked up the fairway thinking he'd have a shot only to find this when he got there:

I come back to the TV to see this? What have you done, PHIL? http://ift.tt/Wfh6fS

Mickelson was forced to walk back down the fairway and hit another shot from the original spot. To his credit, he still managed to make a bogey, an oh shit bogey.
