Phil Mickelson totally made this little girl's day at the FedEx St. Jude Classic

As Peter Kostis said during today's telecast of the FedEx St. Jude Classic, if you lose your perspective as a PGA Tour pro, a week at TPC Southwind will help you gain sight of the important things in life.

One of the most unique charitable traditions on the PGA Tour is the "Little Loopers" program at the tournament, where patients at the St. Jude Children's Hospital help a tour pro during the week. On Sunday, we witnessed a heartwarming moment between Phil Mickelson and his little looper, Allison, on the 18th green after he sunk a 25-foot birdie putt for a 65.

Immediately after a huge final round, Mickelson was thinking about how he could make a fan's day. And by the looks of things, he certainly did. Bravo, Phil.
