We know pro golfer, Phil Mickelson, for his fun personality and the pranks he plays on his fellow golfers. The duo of Bryson DeChambeau and Mickelson are famous for their devious tricks, and here is another added to the list. Mickelson does not let go of any opportunity to try his hands out on new ways to prank and have fun with his colleagues!
A playful, healthy comment from a senior is always a motivator, and an incident from 2020 is evident of that. Mickelson praised DeChambeau for hitting bomb shots at the tournament, but with a twist. Let’s see what Mickelson had to say about the eight-time PGA Tour winner.
Does Phil Mickelson appreciate DeChambeau for the bombing?
DeChambeau’s performance immensely impressed the golf world over the past few years. His fantastic diet and incredible physique have been the talk of the town for quite sometime now. We know DeChambeau as the mad golf scientist, and he proved his worth by winning the PGA Tour championship. Everyone was gaga over him, but Mickelson had a different take on the situation.
In 2020, during the first round of the Travelers Championship, Mickelson was shining, hitting great shots, and dropping them like bombs. We know him for his great game, but DeChambeau was stealing the limelight. He was reaching another level by hitting his artillery off the tee.
Even though DeChambeau was acing the tournament, the eventual victory landed in the hands of Mickelson. The NCAA Division I champion was out-driving former PGA Tour member by 22 yards, but Mickelson finished with a birdie.
Mickelson is playful with Bryson DeChambeau
In 2021, Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady were playing against Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers. A week before the match, Mickelson decided to stir things up a little.
During practice sessions of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Mickelson played his classic move and pranked DeChambeau. He watched DeChambeau tee off, slowly reaching into his bag and pulling out an 8-iron. He playfully bent it using his knee and looked at the camera mockingly. Later, in a hilarious take, he posted the video of himself doing that and mentioned that DeChambeau had enough reasons to hit 8-iron!
