We all knew Phil Mickelson joining Twitter would result in some hilarity and hijinks, and so far, Lefty has lived up to the hype.
That’s also included a “rivalry” with Bubba Watson that’s totally in scare quotes because it’s an extremely silly “feud” that’s developed on social media between the two golfers who can hit — in Mickelson and Watson’s words — “bombs” off the tee.
It all began in April, when Watson made fun of Mickelson’s shapely calves as he discussed the best way to hit long drives — it’s all in the arms, although as you can see, Watson wasn’t lifting much weight:
Later that month, Mickelson was in the middle of a lesson to fans on how to sculpt calves like his. While lecturing, he dropped in a little jab at Watson, which a lot of fans noticed:
“There’s a lot of debate on how to hit bombs. Is it the arms? Is it the calves? Well, technically you don’t need either. I mean, Bubba Watson hits bombs.”
ZING! Mickelson did say he got Watson’s permission to escalate their “feud” but Watson kept it going:
And now we get to this weird but funny video from Mickelson in which he talked about Watson’s “grizzly bear chest hair”:
Keep it going, guys.
