"Mr. 89"- Max McGreevy takes a hilarious jibe at himself at the Valspar Championship
Max McGreevy roasted himself at the ongoing Valspar Championship. The golfer made his caddie wear a bib with "Mr.89" written on it.
Well, it's not his favourite number. The golfer had actually taken a hilarious jibe at himself. Last week, he played a round of 89 at The Players Championship and had fun at the Valspar Championship. Although he missed the cut at the tournament, Max McGreevy's caddie bib went viral on social media.
Apparently, it wasn't just McGreevy whose caddie was spotted wearing a unique bib, JT Poston made his caddie wear a bib with "The other JT" written on it.
Justin Thomas and JT Poston were paired to start the tournament on the same hole and so to avoid confusion, Poston did that.
However, in the first round of the tournament, Thomas took the lead over Poston and asked for full JT rights in a social media post.
Thomas tweeted:
"Huge putt on the last to clip J T Poston by 1 today. Gives me full "JT" bragging right for tomorrow."
Huge putt on the last to clip @JT_ThePostman by 1 today. Gives me full “JT” bragging rights for tomorrow twitter.com/JT_ThePostman/…
Interestingly, Justin Timberlake also joined the fun and commented on Thomas's post. He wrote:
"I've entered the comments. "
In reply, golfer JT said:
"Cmon man. ...can't you just let us have one week."
