‘How Cool Is That?!?!’: Moments After His PGA Championship Round 1 Finish, Phil Mickelson Entertains Fans With His Social Media Activity

The 105th PGA Championship officially began on Monday, and it has the entire golfing world engrossed into it completely. With Bryson DeChambeau in the lead right now, followed closely behind by Scottie Scheffler, the excitement is at an all time high!

Phil Mickelson and his response to the tweet

Lefty’s performance is one of the much-awaited performances in the PGA Championship, given his tremendous gameplay in the Masters last month.

With a good start, Mickelson is in the top 30 after the first round. However, in any of these scenarios, fans might even pick up on minor alterations to games. This alteration was just noted on Twitter by a fan account. On its official Twitter account, Phil Mickelson Tracker tweeted a post about the golfer exchanging balls between games. The caption on the picture read: “Noticed Phil has changed balls mid round. Was using a Callaway that he lined himself with sharpie, now using the official triple track ball.” 

The oldest champion wasted no time and replied to the tweet, “There is no one ball rule at the PGA”. With so many controversies surrounding LIV golf, Lefty is quick to inform everyone about the rules.

At the PGA Championship two years prior, the six times major champion defeated Brooks Koepka to win his sixth major. Nevertheless, he didn’t participate in any majors last year after switching to LIV Golf.

Since the beginning of the year, his performance has set a high bar. He scored eight birdies at the Masters in Augusta just last month ranking at T2 tied with Koepka. In addition, he finished with the lowest final-round score of 65, making him the oldest golfer to reach this milestone. But with all these achievements, how have fans reacted to the fan account tweet and Mickelson’s response?

One fan commented on the direct clarification by Mickelson.

There were obviously some comments supporting and cheering for Lefty.

Some fans were confused by the no-one-ball rule.

Though he is not on the PGA Tour anymore, Mickelson is the past champion of the Masters and the PGA Championship, so he has a lifetime invitation to the games. And with his amazing performances, everyone is waiting to see his magic on the course again.
