VIDEO: Phil Mickelson knocks down marshal with WGC-Bridgestone tee shot



When Phil Mickelson sprays the golf ball off the tee, anyone is in danger. A volunteer marshal learned that the hard way on Friday in the second round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

Hitting his tee shot on the fourth hole at Firestone C.C., Mickelson pulled his drive to the right, forcing a marshal to the ground as it landed near a tree. The marshal doesn't appear to get hit by the shot, but stumbles backward to the ground trying to get out of the way of a bouncing ball.

Maybe a signed glove and a $100 bill are in the guy's future.
