Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson played a practice round together Tuesday in advance of The Players Championship - meaning there’s a good chance a few bucks changed hands behind the 18th green at TPC Sawgrass.

None of the three found dry land with their first shots to the island green, but after a quick re-load Fowler hit the green with his second approach, giving him bragging rights (at least) over Mickelson and Johnson.
After the round, Fowler posted a video to his Instagram account, showing that while he and Johnson seem to have viable left-handed swings, Mickelson’s ambidextrous effort could use some work:
