Phil Mickelson shares priceless moment with junior golfer at TPC Boston

Add this to the list of reasons why the fans love Phil Mickelson.

Playing the 18th hole at TPC Boston in the pro-am round of the Dell Technologies Championship on Thursday, Mickelson noticed a junior golfer along the ropes close to where his ball was and engaged him in a quick conversation.

Mickelson was preparing to hit a 3-wood from the rough for his second shot on the par 5 and asked the youngster, Riley, what he would do in that situation -- go for it, or lay up?

Riley's answer was perfect:

"I like how you think," Mickelson said.

And after he pulled the shot off -- typical Phil -- he said, "Riley, you can caddie for me anytime."
