'The worst selfie taker' – When Phil Mickelson hilariously roasted his own photography skills

Renowned golfer Phil Mickelson roasted his photography skills during the 2017 President's Cup. That year, the USA won the President's Cup, and Mickelson's 12-foot birdie on the 18th hole helped in the victory. The big triumph for the American side called for a celebration but one thing didn't go according to plan.

Mickelson, who shared a selfie with the last three US presidents, cropped himself out of the picture. After that, he admitted that he was not good at clicking pictures. His words were (via Augusta Chronicle):

“I’m clearly the worst selfie taker. I’m the worst ‘Three Amigos’ dancer. But I can putt.”

It was not the only way Mickelson celebrated that day. As Mickelson claimed the 18th hole with a birdie putt that gave him and his teammate Kevin Kisner a 1-up win over their opponents the duo choreographed a short dance routine. In the dance routine, both golfers were supposed to cross their arms across their chests before placing their hands on their hips.

Following the dance move, Kisner said (via northjersey.com):

“I think he panicked, I panicked and it just kind of happened…I'm not sure what happened, but it was a lot of fun.”

Mickelson felt they nailed the dance routine as he watched the video again. His words were:

“I thought we biffed it when we were doing it…But when I looked back and saw the replay, I think we kind of nailed it actually,” Mickelson was quoted as saying by Northjersey.

Mickelson plays for LIV Golf and switched from the PGA Tour to the breakaway league in 2022. Since then, he hasn't participated in the President's Cup.
