Just about every golf fan was nervous about Phil Mickelson during the final round of the 2021 PGA Championship he’d end up winning.
That apparently included those among his biggest fans: his mom and his siblings.
Mickelson’s sister Tina shared a really funny exchange between herself and their mom that proved just how nervous they all were on Sunday.
“Tina, [text] Philip and tell him just to par in,” Mickelson’s mom’s text read. “Don’t hit bombs or activate calves. Just par. They will have to catch him. He won’t listen to his mother do you [text] him. Hurry.”
Tina responded she’d text their brother Tim, who happened to be caddying for Phil:
While you guys were busy on the golf course, I was busy fielding Mom’s “nervous texts”.😂 @PhilMickelson @goodwalkspoiled pic.twitter.com/ZyZZ5xvdRN

Love that reference to his calves.
There are also these tweets, which are so good:
I’m not crying. You’re crying. OK, I’m totally crying. @PhilMickelson @goodwalkspoiled pic.twitter.com/K8IR2hGjNb

Last week at a family dinner:
Phil: I had a complete breakthrough/epiphany today. I will win soon.
Tim: I can attest to that. Playing best golf in a while.
Today was not as shocking as it might have seemed. @PhilMickelson @goodwalkspoiled— Tina Mickelson (@TinaMickelson) May 24, 2021
