Phil Mickelson drops by lemonade stand, gives kids $100

Phil Mickelson has earned the reputation of being a generous tipper, and a couple of young entrepreneurs found out why Thursday near the Memorial Tournament.

Six-year-old Roland Van Karsen and his 8-year-old sister, Elise, were manning their Muirfield Village neighborhood lemonade stand when Lefty pulled up for a beverage, according to the Columbus Dispatch. Mickelson bought the $1 lemonade with a slightly larger bill, leaving the children $100, or a $99 tip.

Mickelson, who is tied for 63rd in the event after a third-round 78, made it a great day in the office for the Van Karsens.
