During his time on the PGA Tour, Phil Mickelson was known for his quick-witted sense of humour and perfectly timed one-liners.

Whether it was a comment about Tiger Woods at the 2018 Northern Trust or a piece to the camera during the 2013 Presidents Cup, Mickelson was ever the entertainer.

The lefty’s antics didn’t go unnoticed. Woods shared a brilliant response during the 2020 Match after Mickelson hyped himself up before a long-drive competition.

More recently, the 54-year-old’s presence has been felt on social media. Wesley Bryan revealed Mickelson sent him some ‘spicy’ messages ahead of the two potentially facing off in a YouTube match.

Clearly, the six-time major winner is one of the game’s great characters, and Joel Dahmen is the latest PGA Tour player to share a humorous Mickelson story.

What happened with Joel Dahmen and Phil Mickelson at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship

Dahmen, playing alongside Mickelson during the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship, has revealed the four words the lefty said to him after he tried to make a joke with him at Quail Hollow.

“So I was playing with Phil about, I don’t know, four years ago,” Dahmen said in a recent social media clip.

“Wells Fargo, I hit one left. I pitched out and hit a, you know, a wedge in there to, like, six inches. I was like, man, that was a Phil par. Phil, being Phil, looks at me and says, ‘Phil doesn’t chip out. ‘ I am like, he’s so good. You’re right; he would’ve never pitched out. Phil doesn’t chip out.”

Joel Dahmen and Phil Mickelson’s war of words at 2021 Wells Fargo Championship

The on-the-course incident wasn’t the only moment between Mickelson and Dahmen at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship.

Before Thursday’s first tee, Dahmen and Mickelson exchanged jovial messages on Twitter (now known as X). “Tomorrow, I get to check off another bucket list item by playing with Phil Mickelson. I’ve been trying to get a game with him for 6 months, but I think he’s scared of my hellacious seeds. See you on the tee, Phil,” Dahmen wrote.

Mickelson replied: “After 6 months of intense training, I hear you’ve reached your goal of 170 ball speed. Congrats, and I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.”

A series of responses followed before Dahmen hit Mickelson with a dagger to the heart. He wrote: “I’m excited to see how my game stacks up against the best of the @ChampionsTour.”

Dahmen’s comments inspired Mickelson after he shot a seven-under 64 to take a first-round lead. The lefty, however, finished the week 69th 17 shots back of eventual winner, Rory McIlroy. Dahmen ended the week in a tie for 18th on one under.
