News of this huge wager made its way to Mickelson, and he responded on Twitter.

Mickelson is making reference to having a bigger lead on the 18th hole Sunday than the last time the U.S. Open was played at Winged Foot. In 2006, he famously blew a two-shot lead over the final four holes, including making a double-bogey on the 72nd hole of the tournament, while leading, when a par would have given him a win.
