AUGUSTA, Georgia. – Phil Mickelson, a three-time Masters champion, was amused at the expense of Matt Kuchar before his third round on Saturday.
Mickelson shared a video of himself driving in the legendary Magnolia Lane on Saturday morning. During the video, which Mickelson posted on social media, he stated that he was looking forward to his association with Kuchar, but that he was not planning to play with him.
"Obviously, we will not have any action aside today because I would probably see about 0.06% if I won," said Mickelson. "But we'll have a good day."

Kuchar was strongly criticized earlier this season for failing to pay enough for his replacement after winning the Mayakoba Golf Classic in November.
The replacement cadet, David Giral Ortiz, complained about receiving only $ 5,000 from Kuchar, who earned more than $ 1.2 million for the win. Ortiz would have asked Kuchar for $ 50,000.
Caddies on the PGA Tour usually receive a percentage of a player's winnings.
After Kuchar was criticized, he apologized to Ortiz and agreed to pay him $ 50,000. Kuchar also made an unspecified donation to a charity work of the Mayakoba Classic.
"I let myself down, my family, my partners, and my loved ones, but I also let down David," said Kuchar. "I plan to call David tonight when I will no longer be on the ground to apologize for the situation in which he was put, and I made sure that he did receive the amount total that he asked. "
Kuchar, 40, is a nine-time PGA Tour winner and a member of many Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup teams. He ranks 10th on the all-time list with more than $ 48 million in career earnings.
