Phil Mickelson's older sister, Tina, brought her kids to Torrey Pines on Friday to watch Uncle Phil, and according to a tweet she sent out, the kids were unfazed by watching their Hall-of-Fame uncle do his thang.

Or perhaps these kids were simply taking the necessary precautions. Mickelson has been known to hit an errant shot or two over the years, and even did so on Friday, when he hit a fan with a wayward tee ball, then signed a glove for them with special instructions: "Next time, duck!"

Who knows you better than family? Perhaps these kids knew to heed their uncle's advice and stay low to the ground.

Sure, let's go with that version.
