Phil Mickelson: I Fixed Obama’s Bunker Game

Throughout his Hall of Fame career, Phil Mickelson has entertained fans with his go for broke approach to golf and his dazzling skills around the green.

This touch around the greens led President Obama to ask for some tips from Mickelson during a recent visit to the White House by the victorious 2013 U.S. Presidents Cup team.

Mickelson shared the tip he gave POTUS during an appearance Wednesday on CBS This Morning.

"I love the fact that our president is not only golfer, but a left-handed golfer. We had a chance to go to the White House about a month ago as the Presidents Cup Team and we spent a minute talking about some of his bunker play, because that's been giving him a problem. It was a very simple alignment issue. I actually heard the following week he played a round and hit a great bunker shot and attributed it to our little tip. Which I'm very flattered that I was able to help," Mickelson said.

With Mickelson’s tips will Obama be able to hit this shot?
