PGA Tour pro lofts shot through grandstand from hospitality bar carpet

Phil Mickelson has started a trend. It was at last year’s Barclays that Phil decided to play a wayward shot directly off the carpet of a hospitality bar. Then at the PGA Championship, Matt Jones did the same, popping one from a bar and up over a white picket fence back onto the golf course.

Now Fabian Gomez is getting in on the fun, opting not to take relief from this elevated lie in a hospitality tent. Gomez blasted a tee shot on this 223-yard par-3 directly into the crowd and figured this was the easiest way to get back in play. Of all three, this was probably the most intriguing shot -- he’s so high above the hole, with grandstand seats to clear right in front of him. Gomez nearly holed it but then unfortunately missed the comeback putt for par.
