Phil being Phil: Mickelson’s hilarious reaction to Bryson’s bombs
Are you not entertained?
The whole golfing world is going wild for Bryson DeChambeau – and that includes his fellow tour stars.
“Holy s***,” was Rory McIlroy’s verdict when he saw beefed-up Bryson threatening driving range nets on the PGA Tour’s return, while Colin Montgomerie isn’t happy with the way golf is going.
And now Phil Mickelson is seeing the jaw-dropping athleticism first-hand.
And Mickelson is no stranger to “hitting bombs”, remember. It’s the reason the now 50-year-old isn’t planning on switching to the seniors’ tour.
But here he is during the first round of the 2020 Travelers Championship, won by Dustin Johnson, in full appreciation of what his playing partner had to offer…
Sometimes all it needs is a microphone in the right place to catch that tiny soundbite.
It’s worth noting that, despite the “nasty” 335-yard drive – a full 22 yards past Mickelson – DeChambeau parred the hole while Mickelson made birdie.
