That said, some of his best material still comes from his days on Dahmen’s bag. This story from the final day at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, where Dahmen cashed a solid T-21 cheque, is the latest example.
Playing alongside Jason Day, who remains one of the best short-game players in the sport, Dahmen found himself short-sided in a greenside bunker at Detroit Golf Club’s first hole. After hitting it to kick-in range, he and the former No.1-ranked Aussie had a funny little exchange that Bonnalie shared on Twitter:
2021 Rocket Mortgage Rd. 4.
*Hole 1-Joel short sided in green side bunker. Hits it to tap in*
Jason Day: “great shot!”
Joel: “thanks, I just watched one of your YouTube videos on how to hit that shot”
Jason: Haha!
Joel: “You think I’m kidding” pic.twitter.com/1qCETYfRv0

By the way, whichever video of Day’s he watched, it worked like a charm. After losing strokes around the green in each of the previous two rounds, Dahmen gained 0.627 on the final day, bringing his final tally to +0.521, which ranked 39th in the field for the week. If only he watched that Day video sooner.
