Mickelson responds to Rose's Masters invite with all-time flex
It's Masters invite season, which means players who qualified for the season's first major are eagerly checking their mailboxes.
Justin Rose was excited to receive his invite Thursday and shared a customary photo of the coveted letter from Augusta National's Board of Governors.
However, Phil Mickelson showed up in the comments with a reminder that he has a lifetime of invitations lined up.
"Win it once (or three times) and you get that EVERY YEAR. Just saying," Mickelson said.
Just a friendly reminder from Phil that he has three more green jackets than Rose... pic.twitter.com/OBjs3JKw3F

Everyone gets it, Phil. You're good at golf.
Adding salt to the wound is the fact that Rose is a two-time runner-up at the Masters. He lost to Sergio Garcia in a playoff in 2017.
