Phil Mickelson shed some light this week on a couple things related to his Masters victory three weeks ago: his shot from the pine straw on the 13th hole while holding a one-shot lead, and a picture that surfaced of him cruising through the Krispy Kreme drive-through while wearing his green jacket.
Regarding the 6-iron from about 205 yards that went through a small gap in a pair of trees in front of him, crossed Rae’s creek in front of the green and came to rest 5 feet from the pin to set up an eagle putt.: “I guess if you're on the outside looking in and you see this guy in the pine needles and the trees and stuff trying to hit a shot through the trees and around the trunks and over the water, I could see somebody questioning that. But when you're in it, when you're out there in it and you see the lie and you see the shot and you see the target, it doesn't seem as daunting. But as I kind of looked back and saw some of the pictures, I was like, what was I doing? But it worked out.”
Regarding driving through Krispy Kreme with his green jacket: “Well, throughout the week I don't eat a lot of sugar or carbs or what have you, and my kids wanted doughnuts, and I said Monday morning we'll go to Krispy Kreme and grab some. We used to do that San Diego on football Sunday; we'd go grab some doughnuts Sunday before the games. But Krispy Kreme went out of business in San Diego. We don't have them over there anymore. That was their big thing. They wanted to go Monday morning, so I promised them Monday morning we would. It was a little chilly, so I threw on a jacket.”
