Phil Mickelson asks kid if he should lay up. Kid delivers Phil-esque response

September 05, 2017

Inside the ropes and out, it was an inauspicious summer for Phil Mickelson. But for the first time in months, his game showed signs of life at TPC Boston, delivering four consecutive rounds in the 60s to finish T-6 at the Dell Technologies Championship.
