Fired the heroic bunker of Mitchell
The scene was the round of Thursday’s opening to Memorial. Playing the 9th PAR-3 hole, PGA Tour Veteran He lost his intention in a right -wing Greenside bunker and he remained with an almost impossible scenario, which he described at his press conference.
“I was in the back of the bunker and had the lip behind me, so I couldn’t really get a back and down, as much as I had to hit the ball up, the ground in green and stop it,” Mitchell explained. “There was water on the other hand. It was pretty much everything that went against me.”
And then Mitchell detailed “single shot” he could make from that place: Spinner Thai.
“The only shot I could think about was just a stabbing type, catching the ball first and trying to sculp it on the slope, and then make it rotate when it comes out on top.”
Safa is sure to say that he withdrew it. As you can see below, Mitchell approved his plan, perfectly rotating what he said was one of the main blows of his life.
“I don’t know how I did it, but it was probably one of the best shots I have ever hit and I went out exactly the way I wanted it and I almost went into the hole.”
How to hit a ‘spinner Thai’
It turns out that Spinner Thai comes from another PGA Tour Pro, Thailanda APHIBARNrat Kiradech. Mitchell called him the creator of the shooting and explained exactly what it is.
“So Kiradech type hits a blow where he gets a 60, stabs him and is a kind of passage and then has only one tone rotating and stops,” Mitchell said on Friday.
According to Mitchell, the key to hitting a Thai roller from a bunker is not to remove a golden rule for bunker shots: hitting the sand first.

The opposite is needed for a Thai roller: hitting the ball first.
“From the bunker everyone is teaching you to hit the sand first and try to explode it and hit it up in the air. I couldn’t do it in that situation, there was just no other option. It had the edge behind me, I had to fly it to the green, stop it or otherwise it would go to the water. I just didn’t have that option,” Mitchell said. “So when I decided to hit the ball first. And when she hit the ball first, it turns out really low and hot with many rolls. It’s not something I have really practiced, but I just confused with it for fun. I just had to do it there was the only option I had and I pulled it out.”
