Not long after Bryson DeChambeau registered his first win on LIV Golf in Greebrier, six-time major champion Phil Mickelson reacted to his unbelievable 12-under-par record on Twitter.

Mickelson, who was also at the event, finished on the twenty-sixth rank on the leaderboard and tweeted to congratulate the new winner in his own epic style. He wrote:

"Incredible round by Bryson. 58, What a weekend and win for him. He stole my jump though. Not cool. Proud of his resolve after Cameron and I gave him a thumping Wednesday."

Bryson DeChambeau came to Old White Golf Course, West Virginia, on Sunday sitting on the triple-way-tied third rank on the leaderboard. His performance in the third and final rounds was top-notch, he carded 13 birdies and a bogey to get to an all-time tied-low score of 58.
