What happened with Phil Mickelson at Spieth’s wedding? 

A lot of pro golfers were in attendance for Speith’s big ceremony, including Phil. But the event was not limited to golfers alone, as American country artist Jake Owen was also present at the venue. Spieth’s wedding took place shortly after ‘The Match’ between Mickelson and Tiger Woods, so Owen decided to have some fun.

What did Jake Owen tell Phil Mickelson?

Owen approached Mickelson and talked trash to him. “Hey Phil, you owe me f**king 29.99,” Owen told Mickelson. This was with respect to how The Match: Woods vs Mickelson unfolded. People were unhappy with the entertainment and Owen too, was not impressed.

Mickelson responded in perfect fashion

Phil had never met Owen before and was startled by the artist’s approach. However, Phil being Phil, gave back some trash. He handed Owen a $100 bill and said, “Take a hundred and go F**k yourself.” Mickelson further stated that he had won plenty of those bills from ‘The Match.’
