Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills have been known to use trick plays from time to time, but the reigning NFL MVP recently used one on the golf course. And it worked on a six-time major champ.

Allen paired with two-time major champ Jon Rahm in the latest edition of Grant Horvat and Phil Mickelson's 2v2 Golf Match series. And the quarterback got Mickelson—and Horvat—good by messing with Mickelson's rangefinder.

Have a look as a puzzled Mickelson and Horvat come up well short on their approach shots on one hole only to realize the rangefinder has been changed from yards to meters.

"This sh-- gets me so hyped," Allen says to Rahm in the cart while the two crack up. "Honestly, like getting Phil on that means more to me than winning this match."

Eventually, Mickelson realized what had happened.

"Josh Allen fu---- with us," Mickelson says. "Good one."

And then to make it worse, Mickelson couldn't figure out how to get it back to yards. Tough scene.

We'll let you watch to see how the match turns out, but Allen was a clear winner in this situation. And he provided a great—and devious—idea for how you can mess with your own golf buddies.
