Keith Mitchell’s Playing Partner Calls Him “Pretty Much a Pain” in Hilarious Dig at $8M PGA Tour Event

Golf’s latest viral moment came courtesy of a playful jab from Ben Kohles at his playing partner, Keith Mitchell, during the Farmers Insurance Open. After Kohles shot a bogey-free 62 to tie for the lead at the $8 million event, he deadpanned that Mitchell was “pretty much a pain” to play with—a lighthearted dig at Mitchell’s clutch putting, which helped him post a 65 of his own.

The pair had already traded strong rounds earlier in the tournament, with Kohles carding a 29 on the front nine and Mitchell matching him with six birdies. Their banter extended beyond the course, as Mitchell later joked that Kohles’ front-nine explosion made him feel like he’d lost despite his own strong play.

The trio, paired for the first two rounds at Yokohama Country Club, showcased the competitive yet camaraderie-filled atmosphere of the event, where Mitchell is chasing his second PGA Tour win after claiming the 2019 Honda Classic. Kohles’ quip, delivered with a straight face and a subtle smile, became the highlight of the round, proving that even in high-stakes golf, humor never goes out of bounds.
