Immediately after spotting the drone camera, Mickelson decided to run towards it and give it a soft kick.

Mickelson did not kick the camera to break it but appeared to be having a little fun running it down. Thankfully, Mickelson wasn’t angry, or it would have been a different story altogether. The drone camera survived the hit and was taken to a safe distance from the golfer by the operator.

Phil Mickelson gets pranked by a fellow golfer.

As they say, everyone meets their match at some point in their life. Lefty met a bigger prankster at the Wells Fargo Championship. The player was asleep on a bench inside the locker room when Keith Mitchell pulled a social media prank on the golf ace.

Mitchell clicked a picture of Mickelson laying on the bench and posted it on his Instagram handle. He said he felt comfortable having a little fun with the golfer. It was not long since Mickelson had joined social media. So Mitchell thought it was the best time to pull the prank on him.

The golf ace was not happy with the prank but later laughed it out. Mitchell knew that a cooled-down Mickelson would return soon for payback. And the same happened when Mickelson sent a police officer to give him a paternity lawsuit as a prank. Mitchell got nervous at first but soon understood what was going on. Not falling for the prank, Mitchell had a little fun with the cop as well.
