‘Phil the Thrill’ is the nickname the American golfer, Phil Mickelson, got for his thrilling style of play. However, sometimes the golfer also likes to practice the same in his day-to-day life. And the story of him trying to escape from a traffic block on the first day he met his present wife is proof of that. 

“I was in a limo that was stuck in traffic with @PhilMickelson,” a netizen with the username @rickspeterson wrote. “…who called his agent to see if he could get a helicopter to evacuate us.” 

Notably, the netizen was replying to a tweet from Aidan Moher, who asked to share “a story about yourself that sounds like a lie but is absolutely true.” 

The story of Mickelson wanting to rent a helicopter to escape from a traffic block sounds like a made-up one. However, the golfer proved otherwise with a follow-up comment. “Guns n roses concert 1992,” he commented under the hard-to-believe story. “True story,” his reply further read. 

Phil Mickelson considers the day he tried to escape traffic in a helicopter special for a different reason

Reports proved that Guns N’ Roses played Compton Terrace in Chandler, Arizona, in 1992. According to Golf Digest, it was part of the ‘Use Your Illusion’ Tour, which the band held in January of the same year. 

It is possible that Mickelson may have forgotten what songs the band played when he went to see them. However, the day will remain special in his mind forever, as he met his present wife, Amy McBride, on the same day.
