Video: Phil Mickelson tee shot lands on road at PGA Championship

Phil Mickelson got off to a disastrous start in his second round at the PGA Championship.

Teeing off on the first hole, the golfer known as Lefty pushed his drive so far left it went wide of the fairway, over the rough, past some trees, and down the road into someone's back yard.

And that's no exaggeration.

"That's the way I go home. I hit that road then go that way," one of the commentator's added.

The horror didn't end there for Mickelson, as he almost smacked another shot into the playhouse of a house neighbouring the golf course.

It was a tough start for Mickelson to say the least, as he stumbled his way to a triple bogey on the opening hole.
