Video captured the moment, which was seemingly planned in advance due to the positioned camera and enthusiastic vocals.

Mickelson finished the weekend in 35th place. Since headlining the Forbes list of 2022 highest paid golfers of 2022 at number one, his play has not lived up in comparison to the massive sums of money Phil has secured.

In an astoundingly bad statistic, Phil has been +40 in 11 rounds of golf. Do you think the pressure has gotten to Phil, or is he satisfied just playing for the money? He certainly seems to have changed in the minds of the New York, New Jersey area.
