You know your short game is ready for #TheMasters when you have your caddie tend the flag from 60 yards out.

It was vintage Phil Mickelson.
Mickelson told his caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay to walk ahead onto the par-5 13th green, so he could tend the flag for his 61-yard pitch shot.
Lefty drove it in low, then had his ball stop to within four-feet of the hole, leading to a birdie.
