Phil Mickelson delivers his 1st buttslap of the Ryder Cup

Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley are some of our country’s leaders in the golfing buttslap space. The Ryder Cup always puts these pros in the position of having to emote and celebrate with a partner, something they don’t do every other week of the year. This always leads to awkwardness, usually in the form of stilted and missed high-fives. Phil and Keegan, however, have always gone for the buttslaps, whether it’s the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup. Here’s our first of 2014, coming on the 10th hole. (via GolfDigest)
