"Talking Sh*t" - Phil Mickelson's ex-caddie slammed by 28-Yo pro golfer for comments during the Houston Open

During the Houston Open, Phil Mickelson’s ex-caddie, Jim ‘Bones’ MacKay, called out PGA Tour player Alejandro Tosti for his slow pace of play. However, the 28-year-old player replied to MacKay, saying there was a lot he didn’t see during the competition.

The 2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open concluded its final round on Sunday, March 30, and Australian professional golfer Min Woo Lee claimed the title at the event. During the final round, 45-time PGA Tour winner Phil Mickelson’s ex-caddie, who was a commentator for the game, commented on Alejandro Tosti’s pace, saying it was “glacially slow.”

“I don't know what's going on, but Tosti is playing at his own pace. At times, it's normal. At times, it's glacially slow. But he's decided on this particular hole to really take his time, and he's holding up play in this last group,” MacKay said during NBC’s live coverage. (Via Irish Star)

Following the conclusion of the Houston Open, Tosti said:

“Bones talking sh*t for the fans. Saying l am walking 50 yards behind and ‘trying to slow playing my partner’. The part you don’t see is that l used the restroom and prepared myself a drink,” Tosti said.

Tosti made four bogeys and six birdies in the final round of the tournament. He finished the competition with a score of 15-under, landing him at T5 in a tie with Wyndham Clark, Rory McIlroy, and Taylor Pendrith.

Lee won the Houston Open with 20-under, one stroke ahead of the runners-up, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland. Sami Valimaki finished in fourth place with 17-under.
