Phil Mickelson epically shuts up country music star Jake Owen: ‘Go f*** yourself’
Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods might never live down their flop of a head-to-head golf match that continues to follow them wherever they go.
Phil Mickelson could soon be the subject of one of those confrontational country songs everyone loves.
The golf star known as Lefty got into a verbal spat with country music singer Jake Owen at Jordan Spieth’s wedding, apparently over Mickelson’s pay-per-view match with Tiger Woods the previous day.
Owen, who is close friends with Spieth, said on a Barstool podcast he confronted Mickelson about getting a refund of the roughly $30 he and millions of others “wasted” on the lacklustre event many viewers ended up watching for free.
“I was like, ‘Hey, Phil, you owe me f***ing $29.99 for wasting four hours of my life with the s***tiest golf I’ve ever seen,’” Owen said. “I want my $29.99 back and apologise to me for some s***ty golf.’”
Owen added that Mickelson replied by whipping out a stack of cash and handing him a hundred dollar note.
“I won 90,000 of these yesterday. Take one of these and go f–k yourself,” Owen claimed Mickelson told him.
The three-time Masters champion tweeted Monday in response to a video clip of Owen’s tale, “True story.”
