Like most, Jordan Spieth also wished for a perfect wedding. Little did he know that his friends from work, Phil Mickelson and Jake Owen, would make for the opposite.

Jake Owen is a professional golfer turned country singer. After a wakeboarding accident, Owen had to undergo reconstructive surgery, which cost him his career in golf.

Owen was having a good day at one of his friends, Jordan Spieth‘s wedding. However, a couple of cocktails later, he spotted Phil Mickelson at the reception and things took a turn for the worse.

Jake told off Mickelson

“Hey Phil, you owe me f**king 29.99,” said Jake Owen to Phil Mickelson at their first meeting. Although they had met before at an award program, the golfers never had the chance to talk to each other.

Owen explained in the interview that Jordan Spieth’s wedding was right after Phil Mickelson had played Tiger Woods at Capital One’s The Match. Although Mickelson won, the outcome wasn’t up to Jake’s expectations.

Tiger and Phil struggled to hole the ball, and it took four playoff holes for Mickelson to win; As prize money, Phil got $9 million.

As both a player and a fan, Owen had purchased tickets to the game. Disappointed with the quality of the same and after a little too much to drink, Jake Owen couldn’t help but ask for a refund.

Owen said to Phil, “you guys hyped this whole thing up about this big match. You guys couldn’t even make three birdies between the two
of you.”
