OT: Phil Mickleson shuts up Jake Owen.

https://nypost.com/2019/04/02/phil-mickelson-epically-shuts-up-country-m...

While Jake Owen's approach to striking up a conversation with some one he doesn't know is terrible, Phil's retort is just amazingly dickish. The best part is that Phil confirms he did this.

EDIT: Changed headline to be more descriptive. Just because Jake is a dick doesn't mean Phil isnt a dick back to him.

Savage! What a power move by Lefty

That's not being a dick. That's putting a dick in it's place.
Phil is great when it comes to stories like this. Honestly believes he thinks there is no such thing a bad press.

Honestly, had I been in Phil's place, especially with a wad of cash in my pocket, I would have done the same thing. Country Bro was being a douche. Talk about fuck you money. Phil has it!

The hero of the rich white man, Phil Mickelson.

His being a dick is old news.

KPMG on his hat...you know what that stands for, right?
Keep Phil Mickelson Golfing.

And his nickname in the locker room is FIGJAM. F$&@ I'm Great, Just Ask Me.

I'm not sure how this is "confirming" he's a dick, or even being a dick at all. He should have added that he'd play that guy in a match for 1k. That would have shut the guy up pretty quickly.

You'll never guess what Phil Mickelson did. Click this link to find out.

You know that they subsequently played together in a Pro-Am, right? It was just smack-talk and in good fun. Nothing to see here...

Yeah, it all played out nicely...but that would be hearing the whole story and who wants to do that?

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

I had no idea they knew each other. This makes Phil seem less of a dick. (his response is still epic)

Phil's the man. Period. Next topic.

Is Phil using a 90 degree wedge now!?!?

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

"I was like, 'Hey, Phil, you owe me f–king $29.99 for wasting four hours of my life with the s–ttiest golf I've ever seen,'" Owen said. "'... I want my $29.99 back and apologize to me for some s–tty golf.'"

Owen added that Mickelson replied by whipping out a stack of cash and handing him a C-note.

"I won 90,000 of these yesterday. Take one of these and go f–k yourself," Owen claimed Mickelson told him.

Ok, I'm sorry... that's actually a hilarious comeback

Jake Owen is the dumbass here for paying $30 for that. The entire payment process tanked and it became free right before it started.

Met Phil in person before at the Greenbrier he's actually a really good dude. I know he may have been obligated to do some but this man was out signing an autograph for everyone that wanted one for at least an hour after his practice round.

Go for it

When fuccboi Jake Owen can hit a six-iron stiff from the straw on 13 to birdie and go on to win The Masters, I'll give a shit who he is. Until then, #TeamPhil.

Had to look him up; Owen's edited [not by me] Wikipedia page is pure gold.

"Just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys." -Hank Stram

Hahaha, that's awesome. And ya, this dude's a moron for calling out Phil like that. What do you expect him to say? Keep being a nobody Jake Owen.

"What kind of person would throw away a perfectly good dog?"

i'm guessing this is a bunch of smack talk between them, the more I read it.

It read to me more like some dude came up during Jordan's wedding and picked a fight with Phil that was unprovoked to which Phil had an epic comeback.

"What kind of person would throw away a perfectly good dog?"

But if they played in a pro-Am together afterward, then I think there was some relationship already and he was busting Phil's chops. And then Phil gave it right back to him.

Yeah this seems like 2 friends just takin the piss out of each other

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Good take, didn't know that. Ya, definitely could've been then. Man, that's some dry humor on both of them if that's the case.

"What kind of person would throw away a perfectly good dog?"

For those who don't feel like clicking the link:

Owen admitted to the Fore Play podcast on Barstool Sports that after drinking at pro golfer Jordan Spieth's wedding in November 2018 he accosted Phil Mickelson after Phil's lackluster play in his match with Tiger Woods. Phil offered 100 dollars as payment due to Phil not caring because come on the man is quite rich.

Owen, with the double passive brag. Noice.

Whatever.

The only way I would have loved Lefty's response more is if he blew his nose in the bill first or wiped his ass with it.

Or dropped it on the floor and told him to get his shine box.

Jake Owen is bro-country.

Agree but his new album is still pretty good.
